Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu told Reuters that the city center saw between 4 and 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) of snow; just under 10 inches (25 centimeters) was recorded in the suburbs. The storm coincided with a winter break for most schools in Turkey, but public institutions and shopping malls closed early Monday.
