A blast of frosty weather brought several centimeters of snow to Iran on Saturday and covered various parts of the country with a picturesque white blanket.
Many cars stayed off roads due to hazardous driving conditions as ways leading to a number of provinces, including Zanjan, Qazvin, Alborz, Hamedan, Kordestan, Kermanshah, Mazandaran, Ardabil, Qom, Lorestan, and Golestan were hit by snowfall.The cold spell is forecast to stretch into next week, with temperatures dropping to as low as -20C in some areas.
Authorities urged motorists to drive with care, as icy patches are likely to form on roads and visibility is reduced by blowing snow.
