Two Snow Days In Israel!

Snow In Israel Jan 2013 with mosaic pot

Gotta love a mosaic pot in the snow! If you’re up for a fun mosaic project, so take a look at my DIY mosaic pot tutorial for making mosaic pots like this one, that will weather a good storm once in a while! (Meaning those of you who live in zones 5-7, with frost, and occasional snow, like our region here in Northern Israel.)

It’s been a good four or so years since we’ve had anything more than a slight dusting of snow here, so we were very thrilled when a real winter storm came our way and left our mountaintop city looking like a winter wonderland! I know, snow and Israel don’t seem to go together, and much of the country did not look like this, but our city, in the North, and well as Jerusalem, are high enough for real winter once in a while, yippee!

I always say, that I love one day of snow, enough to enjoy it, but not too much that it becomes very inconvenient, as we are not equipped to deal with snow. At the slightest flurry, schools are closed and the majority plan to just stay home. No problem, I’ve got a few crochet projects  underway, and the kids certainly don’t mind a little unexpected vacation!

Oh, and here’s a little cutie on his way out to play in the snow with two scarves, ear muffs and the works! I’m so happy for him!

    Even in NY, when snow came, we kids were thrilled. We built forts & had snow ball fights. But the best thing was a day off from school. Yasher Koach!

    Awesome story. I remember February 1992 when three snowfalls left about a foot of snow in Jerusalem. Many people suffered and died in the cold. The city was unable to plow streets and cope with the snow covered hills.
    God Protect All Yisrael,
    baShem Yeshua,
    Amen
