It's SNOWING?

Right before dinner last night noticed white flakes drifting by the window. Ran to the balcony-  and sure enough - it was SNOWING!! Kids got really excited and everyone ran out to the balcony (only in our sweatshirt!) and stretched out our hands out to catch the snowflakes....It was already dark then and by the light of the streetlamps the snowflakes look almost magical...

Next morning all of us came down, the kids were going off off to school, J to work and me to my Turkish class - we saw Park Oran blanketed in snow.....

The children loved it - Syireen sempat  main snowball before catching her school bus, and then made a mini snowman when she came back from school...

Didn't last long though...just a few inches of snow and by evening there was hardly any snow on the ground. Expecting more snow soon though....

Considering a visit to a ski resort probably next month. There are two ski places close to Ankara -  Kartalkaya about two hours fron Ankara and another smaller ski slope at Elmsdag in Ankara itself - only about 40km away.
