All kinds of snow

It has been snowing a ton these past couple of days. It snowed a little bit last week but Monday afternoon it started snowing about 4 and snowed the rest of the day. We got around 4 inches at our apartment. They got more on the Asian side. We had went to our first practice Tuesday evening. One of our teammates picked us up and gave us a ride to Koc (pronounced "coach") University. We practice here but we are not connected to the school at all. It is about a 30 minute ride from our apratment north of the city. It is a beautiful area and much more in the mountains than where we live. They had alot more snow than we had in the city so its was a little slippery trying to get up there. The campus itself is really nice and we have access to all the amenities even though we dont go there. That is awesome because it gives us a place to hang out and we can use the gym and pool. It was getting dark and really was not very good weather when we went up Tuesday so I did not take any pictures but I plan on taking more when the weather is better so I can share the scenery that we get to see! We practice again tomorrow and hopefully there will not be five inches of snow on the field like there was Tuesday, but since it was snowing tonight when we went to the grocery, I do not think that hope is going to come true. Below is a picture of my two roommates, myself, and one of our teammates.
