Snowing in Jerusalem

[Ioustinos]

Hi all

I have just received an email from a Rabbi whose daughter lives in Jerusalem and the word is that it is snowing there!

You might want to check it out at the wall cam.


God Bless

Which means any day now I can expect more taunting emails from my friends in Israel. I really miss it there and I'd really like to see it snow in Jerusalem.

I remember when it snowed once in Jerusalem... I was in Egypt that week.

Bah. I went camping at the Dead Sea at Ein Gedi in the middle of August. I'm pretty sure I drank more than my body volume of water in the first 24 hours. It just evaporates out of you.

Now if you're at the Dead Sea or in the Negev in the middle of summer I can understand. But if you're in Jerusalem or Galilee then you've got it cool.

Can you imagine those Zealots who lived up on top of Masada?

Crazy

Anyways, yeah thats my Ein Gedi and one of my favorite spots in Israel. One of my favorite photos is watching the sunrise over the Dead Sea as it appears as if out of a veil from the dehydrated air. Really kewl like that. The change in air temp. is incredible too. As if its going up a couple degrees celsius per second. Which it probably is.

The big annoying thing are the idoitic flies that come out in the morning. I guess they're not morning bugs because they repeatedly ram you as if they can't believe that you're there or are trying to tell you that you shouldn't be there.

I'll try to see if I can get some of those pictures scanned in the next week here.

Article Update

JERUSALEM (AP) - A rare snow storm swept across Israel and Lebanon on Tuesday, closing major highways and schools, cutting power and blanketing the steeples and palm trees of Jerusalem in wintry white.

Forecasters said the storm will continue through Wednesday and is expected to deliver the heaviest snow since 1950. By Tuesday morning, 15 centimetres had fallen in Jerusalem, and snow covered the hills of northern Israel and the West Bank, as well as the mountains of Lebanon.
