JERUSALEM (EJP)---The heaviest winter snowstorm in December since 1953 hit Israel, including Jerusalem, Wednesday night and Thursday, prompting school closures and blocking access routes to the Israeli capital.
The stormy weather was expected to persist into the weekend, with snow reaching elevated areas as far south as the Negev Desert on Friday.
Snow began falling on Mount Hermon in the north. Snow is expected later in the week in areas of northern Israel and the Galilee, as well as in high elevations in central Israel.
The Jerusalem municipality sent out an alert that school studies in the capital were canceled. Courses at the Hebrew University campus on Mount Scopus were also called off for the day.
“Snow in Jerusalem is a cause for celebration for Jerusalemites and the many visitors who come to see the world’s most beautiful city painted white,” said Jerusalem's Mayor Nir Barkat.“We hope the snow won’t disappoint, especially for Jerusalem’s excited children, who are looking forward to it.”
Several major traffic arteries were closed throughout the country on Thursday morning, including parts of the tunnel road between Jerusalem and Hebron, and stretches of the Dead Sea road.
The Jerusalem-bound lanes on Route 1 were intermittently closed between Latrun and Jerusalem.
Temperatures are expected to be several degrees colder than usual for the rest of the week and dropping each day.
High winds have prevented flights from leaving the Sde Dov airport in Tel Aviv and slowed air traffic at Ben Gurion International Airport.
In Tel Aviv, parts of the city’s boardwalk were under water due to heavy amounts of rain. Authorities threatened to close the major Ayalon Highway as the Ayalon River continues to rise.
As a result of the snowstorm, US Secretary of State John Kerry's scheduled meeting with Israel President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Brenjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Thursday was postponed.
You know, it’s amazing how the global warming has screwed things up. Sorry Israel. My car still passes the wrong kind of gas.
Shut up trees! Your voices don’t count.

If you want to keep an eye on the Yam HaKinneret (Sea of Galilee for those of you in Rio Linda) go to this link.

It looks like the lake level bottomed out about 2DEC2013 and is now on its way back up. I’m hoping that the water level gets so high they have to open the spillway at Degania Dam in order to relieve the pressure.
IIRC, the last time they did that was in 1992.
Well, how much did they have? 1/2 inch? 2 inches?
The forecast on Wunderground says it’ll be snowing from now until Shabbat.

A snowstorm hit Mount Hermon on Thursday, after dozens of centimeters of snow have accumulated on the mount since Tuesday. Snow also pelted the northern city of Safed on Thursday evening. Dozens of millimeters of rain have fallen in the Gush Dan (the Tel Aviv area), Sharon and Galilee regions since Wednesday night.

Oh, because Jews speak Hebrew over there.
Now, Jesus OTH, spoke King James English and drank only Welches grape juice. (Yes, there are some people that actually believe that!)
Roads to Jerusalem blocked due to snow
