Snowing in Istanbul

We have hard winter conditions this year....It is still snowing, Istanbul is under the white blanket. My potted flowers are also under the white blanket.
Below photos taken from my studio which is at the southern part of our home, it is the coldest part, photos shows the extreme conditions....I love to sit and watch snowing....
I'm working on a special Crazy Quilting project in these days, I'll share its photos soon. I have a good news that I used lots of embellishments on that CQ project that I was keeping them for a special project:)) I'm a real keeper, now it is time to use special items for a special purpose. Happy stitching to all.....

Hi Rengin, Sorry to hear that you are freezing in Istanbul and have the snow too. We are freezing here too but fortunately no snow which is a good thing. Hope all is well with you and I can see you have been doing a lot of good things.
Rengin could you please tell me what the weather is like in Istanbul around the 1st week of April generally? We are coming there for our Easter holidays from the 4th till the 8th of April so would like to know if we need cardigans etc at all. Also could you please point me to shops that sell those beautiful trims that you gave to me last time you came to London. I would love to buy some more of them. Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Rengin, Hope your weather has improved. We are still in the grip of cold spell. Expecting some snow today. Yes I would love to meet you again. We will be staying in a Hotel call Antis. Booked it via internet so we are hoping it is a good one. This is the address I have got Sultanahmet Mah Akbiyik Degirmeni Sok Nolstanbul 34122. I hope it is close to the city centre as we just want to relax and see the city sights. My husband can't walk too much so we are hoping everything will be close by. I don't have your email so please could you send it to me please.

Shashi, I just sent you an e-mail that I found it at your site. Please confirm if you receive it.
You'll be staying at the old town, it is too much touristic and crowd place but so close to everywhere you would like to visit.
Looking forward to see you:))
