Snow closes roads in Israel, is a source of wonder in Egypt

Apparently worth repeating, since so many deniers are enthralled with this.
I see you're still in the dark about the difference between weather and climate, which has been explained to you many times. Too bad you're so retarded.
BTW, it snows every year in Israel on Mt. Herman in the north and usually some other places around the country. They have a large ski resort on Mt. Herman. It usually snows every few years in Jerusalem and other higher elevation places. Meteorologists over there are calling this current weather event, the "heaviest snowstorm in twenty years" in Jerusalem, which should give you a clue that it has happened before and is not that unusual.
Snow and skiing in Israel? Head to Mount Hermon!

Oh yes. You might not associate the colder aspects of a North American or North European winter with the Middle East, but during the winter months in Israel you can usually see some snow. And if you make it up to the northern tip of Israel, to Mount Hermon, you can even brush up on your skiing and snowboarding skills, or, like the many thousands of Israelis who converge on the Hermon, just throw a snowball or two and take a few pictures. Mount Hermon is definitely your destination if youre after some of the white stuff (though it has also been known to snow in Jerusalem fairly often). Mount Hermon is actually an attraction all year round, snow or no snow, but with its 28 miles of ski runs, including two runs that have officially been declared as Olympic-standard, January and February are usually the months in which to get your winter fix.
