'SNOW CAME LATE BUT STRONG'
In Erzurum, where snowfall continues, tons of snow loaded onto heavy machinery are being transported outside the city. In the city where the snow depth is 25 cm, transportation difficulties are also experienced from time to time. Sema Coşkun, who stated that snow came late to Erzurum this year, said, "Snow came late but it came strong. I think of the white cover when I think of Erzurum.
