| Jerusalem blanketed with heavy snow |
| 2008-01-30 |
| A heavy snowfall blanketed Jerusalem and the surrounding areas Tuesday night and was continuing to fall Wednesday morning. As expected, the Jerusalem municipality decided to cancel school in the capital for the day due to the slippery streets. University classes were also canceled, as well as kindergartens and preschools. School is also out in Gush Etzion, Ofra, Kochav Ya'acov, Tel Zion, Ma'ale Levona, Eli, Shilo and Beit El. |

| #7 Pesky sun and coming ice ages. Al Gore should sue the sun and the earth for not following HIS plan for climate. After all, he's right and nature is wrong. |

| #6 Thank goodness for Gerbil Worming™! Otherwise, it might get cold enough to snow in the normally warm Middle East, of all places. Oh, wait.... |

| #2 The last heavy snow in Jerusalem damaged the ramp at Al-Aqsa that Israel tried to repair that caused more riots, just before Hamas took Gaza. |
