Heavy snow fell in the Jerusalem area on Friday, and for the first time in four years, parts of Jerusalem were white with snow.

Snow fell in Ramot, Givat Ze’ev and Har Gilo, and three centimeters of snow fall were reported.

And on a different note, I see in Homs, Syria, they're catching snow for water ....

I've got to say it, but our media is often slagged off here, and I include myself in that slagging off as well, but the headline says 'heavy snow', but then the article says 3cms of snow fell...yep just over an inch, which we all know is not reminiscent of a heavy fall of snow. Of course, that Jerusalem does not see much snow, perhaps just over an inch may seem like a heavy fall of snow.
