Dat lake effect met zware sneeuwval bij arctische uitbraken over de Zwarte Zee hoort echt bij het Noord-Turkse klimaat. Het komt bijna elke winter wel 1 of meerdere keren voor. Vandaar ook het record van 80cm sneeuw in Istanbul. Lijkt me heerlijk om mee te maken. 
Winter is colder in Istanbul than in most other cities around the Mediterranean Basin, with low temperatures averaging 4–5 °C (39–41 °F).[80] Lake-effect snow from the Black Sea is common, although difficult to forecast, with the potential to be heavy and—as with the fog—disruptive to the city's infrastructure.[82]
Spring and autumn are mild, but often wet and unpredictable; chilly winds from the northwest and warm gusts from the south—sometimes in the same day—tend to cause fluctuations in temperature.[79][83] Overall, Istanbul has an annual average of 115 days with significant precipitation, which amounts to 852 millimeters (33.5 in) per year.[80][84]
The highest and lowest temperatures ever recorded in the city are 40.5 °C (105 °F) and -16.1 °C (3 °F), respectively.
The highest amount of rainfall recorded in a single day is 227 millimeters (8.9 in), whereas the highest recorded snow cover is 80 centimeters (31 in).[85][86]
