Is it normal for Israel to get snow? It seems very nice.
ReplyDeleteHi Jim,
DeleteActually I don't think so I know it snowed last winter. But before that I think its was decades. There is a terrific pictorial blog called The Real Jerusalem Streets that shows what really goes on in Jerusalem and how people live.
I love seeing snow in pictures. What are peoples reaction to the snow? loving it or hating it?
ReplyDeleteHi Stacie,
DeleteI don't now how people are reacting this year but here are pictures from last year's snow http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/at-long-last-snow-in-jerusalem/
I would hazard a guess that since snow is generally very rare in Jerusalem, even though it has now happened two years in a row, the people will do the same as last year; snowball fights in the public parks, snowmen, families taking their children out to see the snow and the odd crank who complains about everything :)
Last year there was a little snow and it melted quickly: http://rjstreets.com/2012/03/04/snow-in-jerusalem/ Today's snow fall was significant by anyone's standard. Inches and inches and still more coming, not like Jerusalem, Israel has seen in 20 years.
ReplyDeletehi Sharon,
DeleteHave fun. Enjoy the snow :)
Sometimes you get what you ask for and guess what? More than enough, it is melting now, but first I did this: http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/finally-enough-snow-in-jerusalem/

DeleteThe irony here is that this is now one of the most read posts on my blog and its not my handiwork at all but the work of God (and of course some extremely talented photographers)...actually I suppose I should not be surprised....:)
