Weather It Is (Winter Continues)

There was quite a lot of rain in many places. For instance, 75 mm was reported in Jerusalem and 56 mm in Efrat (Gush Etzion).  There was 80 mm on the Hermon.  It really was nice to have a prolonged period of rain.

Of course, one wonders what will be next.  Looking at our crystal weather maps we see another storm on the way just in time for Shabbat.  There will be a quick warm-up ahead of this next system, but it should bring plenty of moisture and cold-air.  In fact, it really will feel like winter, and there is likely to be snow on the Hermon and possibly on the highest mountain peaks elsewhere - as the storm continues into early next week.

Tomorrow is my Birthday; this weather column started about 10 years ago -- but I'm older than this.


Happy Chanukah,
