In Israel, 16 for January for the first time in four years, snow fell, and weather forecasters warned of waiting for storms.

According to the publication, in Jerusalem the snow was perceived as a holiday: “Everyone is excited and happy.” The city municipality has not canceled classes in educational institutions. Local residents were urged to be careful on the roads due to icy conditions.

The blizzard did not cause the tourists to abandon the planned trip. So, on January 17-18 in hotels located in the vicinity of the Golan and Upper Galilee, all available seats are sold out. Although the country's rescue services are fully operational.

לאורך כל הלילה פעלו שוטרי ירושלים, על מנת לוודד תושבי העיר ומבקריה מגיעים למחוז חפצם בה. השוטרים סייעו בפינוי כבישים עליהם נערם שלג וביצעו הסברה לנהגים. שימו לב: עדיין קיימת סכנת החלקה בחלק מהכבישיםם pic.twitter.com/yqLqJ2OURi
