Israel is preparing for its first nationwide snowstorm in years. Snow is expected to pile up in Jerusalem on Friday and even in lower areas.
Temperatures sank Tuesday night, heavy snow closed the Hermon ski reso, where more than six feet of snow has piled up on the upper slopes, and rain fell from the north to the northern Negev.
The storm is expected to dump up to four inches of much needed rain in many parts of the country. Jerusalem residents may see a bit of snow or snow mixed with rain Wednesday night and Thursday, but colder temperatures on Friday will bring down the white stuff, with accumulations, according to weather forecasters.
As usual, predicting snow in the central parts of the country is tricky because the lowest temperatures during a rain storm usually hover around freezing. The national weather service, burned in the past by wrong predictions of snow, is playing it safe and saying only that on Friday night, “snow is also possible in Jerusalem.”
Private forecasters are more certain that snow will pile up not only in Jerusalem but also in lower hills. Read the rest on: Arutz7
