Israelis learn to be Canadian or Snow Day in the Golan Heights
So far, a lack of snow and +Celisus temperature has been the big weather story for winter in the Centre of the Universe. Currently, slushie snow flakes are falling and melting once the snow hits the ground. The weekend forecast calls for more or less mild temepratures this weekend…so I was quite amused by this Jerusalem Post headline and picture.
Snow continued falling on the Golan Heights Thursday after particularly harsh storms Wednesday, leaving some residents trapped in their communities. Crews and residents alike were struggling to clear roads and paths, unaided by continuous snowfall. At Kibbutz Marom Golan, residents were stuck in the kibbutz after some 25 centimeters of snow accumulated overnight. Police said roads in the northern Golan Heights remained closed Thursday afternoon. In the northern Heights, school was canceled due to the snowfall and closed roads. In addition to schools in the northern Golan, children studying at the Har v’Gai school in the Upper Galilee also got a snow day
It is just so cute watching Israelis learning to be Canadian.

Is he using a hoe?
Maybe you could pack a few shovels for your trip.
Egad, Beachnut, I do believe you are right and he is trying to shovel snow with a hoe. I guess there are still a few finer points about being a Canadian that the Israelis haven’t quite figured out yet.
