Heavy snowfall in the Kastamonu province of northern Turkey has led to the disruption of transportation and caused outages in electricity and natural gas supplies in several areas, as snow thickness exceeded 15 centimeters in high altitudes.
Effects on power lines
The Azdavay region experienced a dual outage of electricity and natural gas due to the heavy snowfall, which also completely covered the center of the region. The snowfalls began yesterday and continued intermittently in several locations, exacerbating the difficulties of repairing the damaged networks.
Traffic disruption
On the Şenpazar-Ağlı highway, a huge tree fell due to the weight of the snow, preventing vehicles from passing and isolating the area from its surroundings until the obstacle was removed.
