Due to the heavy snowfall that started in the early hours of Sunday 13th March, especially in the mountainous areas, many places in the TRNC were covered in white. The snow fall was most evident on the Lefkosa-Girne and Girne-Değirmenlik roads, Girne, Boğazköy Region, Gonyeli and Lefkosa. Several roads were closed to traffic due to heavy snow fall and icing especially in mountainous areas, which left many vehicles stranded. Some people who were stuck in the snow were rescued by civil defense teams. Police also issued a warning to citizens not to use the roads unless it is necessary.
