Thundersnow in Israel
I just spoke to my son who was at a kibbutz near Efrat (about 30 mi S of Jerusalem) this weekend. They had snow with lightening and thunder and then freezing rain and wind and it did a number on the electrical grid. They got snow for two periods, each time about 2" per hour. This place is about the same latitude as Baton Rouge, LA. The haaretz article mentions the snow but not the lightening and thunder. In the US, thunder sometimes accompanies snowstorms, but it is very rare to actually see the lightening through the snow.Posted by: mhw 2004-02-15 |
