2008-də yağan ilk qar

    

         2008 Yanvar ayının 6-sı Azəbaycana ilk qar yaqdı,daha doğrusu qar təxminən 2-3 gün bundan əvvəldə yağmışdı amma bu dəfə olduğu kimi yox. İlk qar kiməsə xoş hisslər kimə isə əsəb gətirdi. Hər dayanacaqda hərəkətsiz duran 4-5 Marşrut və Avtomobillər bunu izah edirdi…  Hər halda şəhərimiz ağ rəngdə çox gözəl və romantik görsənir.
