7 A.M update.
A note: I just heard that there was 10 cm of snow in Carmei Tzur yesterday evening. A huge "Balagan."
Obviously, snowfall is/was elevation and location dependent.
It is the same with ice on the roads.
One shouldn't think that one cannot drive to Jerusalem, but one must be careful doing so!
Slow down, leave plenty of space between you and the next car.

A brief update.
Another upper level trough will approach the area today, squeezing out light precipitation in the form of light snow in the higher elevations.
Ice on the roads! Temperatures in many areas are zero or below. There are two factors contributing to icing of the roads. i) yesterday evening's snow/slush and rain (wet roads), and this morning's fog. Fog will freeze into clear ice on the roads when temperatures are freezing or below.
While the upper level trough will arrive this afternoon, the most severe cold at lower levels will occur Thursday morning, with temperatures a degree or two below this morning's lows. Moreover, with clear skies in some locations, temperatures will be even lower.
Drive with caution!
