Snow!

[DrLeftover]

An incredible and a rare site in the Holy Land: The biggest snowstorm in a decade covered Jerusalem with a blanket of white Thursday, paralyzing the city, but thrilling residents.



Looking out at the hills around the ancient city is more like looking at Colorado or Switzerland than the arid Middle East. Cars, pine trees and palm trees are all covered with snow.

While most heavy precipitation and winds had subsided by nightfall on Thursday, stormy weather continued – for the sixth day in a row – to pound Israel for the brunt of the morning and afternoon.



All in all, at least 14 people have died in the winter storm in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, the Palestinian Authority and another three in Israel. With the torrential rains and winds that swept the region for nearly a week, meteorological agencies in both Israel and Lebanon have called the storm the worst in 20 years.
