In the high parts of Kartepe, intermittent snowfall is having an effect. The snowfall, which sometimes increases its intensity at the 1640-meter peak of the Samanlı Mountains in Kartepe, has covered the Kuzuyayla region in white.

TEAMS HAVE SPRUNG INTO ACTION

Postcard-like images have emerged in the area covered with a white blanket. The increasing intensity of the precipitation has also mobilized the teams. The snow removal teams formed under the Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality and Kartepe Municipality have taken precautions to prevent disruptions in transportation.

IT WILL LAST UNTIL MARCH 23
