According to the forecasts, Israel is about to experience what’s being billed as the Storm of 5772, which is supposed to include freezing cold temperatures, heavy rain, and – most significantly – even snow in many parts of the country.
Apparently, the main event will happen on Shabbat, but by last night and throughout the day today, we’ve had a few glimpses at what we can expect over the weekend.
Think of it as a frozen coming attraction: 
Yes, that’s hail (i.e. barad for the Hebraically-oriented amongst you).
May we all enjoy a wonderfully wet – and hopefully white – weekend!

We went through a freezing period and I am glad it is over! Good luck with yours.
ReplyDeleteAMEN! (Might as well enjoy it. G-d will do what He wants. It's all good.)
ReplyDeleteI'm a little nervous that we're going to be disappointed, so I'm trying hard not to get too excited... but I sure wouldn't mind staying in bed with hot chocolate on Sunday morning - ah :)
ReplyDeleteIlana-Davita - Thanks. In the end, the hype far outweighed the actual storm.
ReplyDeleteRuti Mizrachi - Well said!
Toby - staying in bed with hot chocolate on Sunday morning
That sounds amazing! Ahhh, indeed... :-)
