BEIRUT: Snow blanketed much of Lebanon Thursday after a fierce overnight snowstorm, with many people trapped in remote villages by blizzards.
Snow settled on the Lebanese coast, in north and south, in a rare appearance in over a decade as the country experienced record low temperatures.
My dad sent me this mail from Israel.
“2 inches of snow on the ground this morning in Bethlehem. Not going anywhere. Everything stops. No school. No shops. No taxi. No walking. Everyone stays home.”
