Heavy snow in Turkey forced the Istanbul Airport to temporarily close on Tuesday, January 25.

Footage shows severely reduced visibility as the blizzard lashed the airport, grounding flights and covering the tarmac in thick snow. The roof of a cargo terminal also reportedly caved in from the weight of the snow, but no injuries were caused.
