Heavy snow blanketed Istanbul for a second day on January 8, 2017, resulting in the cancellation of hundreds of flights and more disruption for thousands of travellers. The snowfall was forecast to lessen later in the day but unusually cold temperatures, even for the time of year, well below freezing were expected throughout the week.  / AFP / YASIN AKGUL        (Photo credit should read YASIN AKGUL/AFP/Getty Images)
