Watch: Clip From Western Wall During Jerusalem Snowstorm

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — For Jerusalem, snow is a rare and eagerly anticipated event. There has not been any significant snow in Israel’s capital since 2015, and therefore the possibility of a real flurry of snow raised expectations and even caused hotels in Jerusalem to fill up with visitors from lowlying regions which are not reached by snow in Israel.

The current storm was short, lasting from Wednesday until Thursday but most of the capital was covered with 10-12 cm of snow. Children who had never seen the snow were mesmerised while adults tried to clear roads and cars in order to reach their destinations.
