Heavy Snow Paralyzes Türkiye: Over 2,000 Roads Blocked ❄️🚧

Winter’s icy grip has thrown Türkiye into chaos as heavy snowfall and blizzards blanket 18 provinces, blocking over 2,000 roads and disrupting daily life. The state-run TRT reported Sunday that rescue teams are battling freezing conditions to restore access—but Mother Nature isn’t backing down yet. 🥶

Remote Communities Cut Off

In eastern Van province, 19 neighborhoods and 35 hamlets are totally isolated, with snow piling higher than some cars. Local authorities described the situation as ‘critical,’ urging residents to stay home. Meanwhile, in Ercis district, where snow has hit 40 cm (16 inches), bulldozers work around the clock to clear streets—though fresh flakes keep falling. 🚜

Travel Warnings Issued

With highways resembling scenes from Frozen 3, officials warn against nonessential travel. Over 2,173 roads are shut, including key routes near Istanbul and Ankara. Emergency crews prioritize reopening paths to hospitals and supply hubs. 🚨 ‘This is one of the worst winters in decades,’ a TRT spokesperson said.

As temperatures plunge, locals share viral videos of snowball fights and makeshift sleds—proving even crises can’t crush Türkiye’s spirit. ❄️✨
