When we woke up this morning this is what we found looking out the window. We woke up really late because there was really nothing to wake us up. The street was completely silent. We were hoping that our power wouldn't go out due to a downed wire. There would have been a lot more of that if not for the warmer temperatures. We really didn't dip below 32F all day so most of the snow that fell during the night washed away. It was crazy to hear the Israeli media reporting the snow. It was as if Armageddon was arriving. The silliest thing I heard was a bulletin to let Israelis know that if they hear a "pop" in their leg while skiing they should seek medical attention. Duh!
It was raining and hailing for most of the day. Ilana actually came close to going outside to get this picture but she is under our mirpeset. The snow is definitely a nice change of pace but it is also driving us a bit stir crazy. Ilana hasn't left the building since Saturday evening. Fortunately, we have found a movie website that works well.
Yes, this is what I looked like after spending a mere 10 minutes outdoors (without winter gear). It was especially nasty because the wind was really blowing. You may be asking yourself, "why does Aaron have green shoes?" Well, if you come to Israel with no boots and there is 3-4 inches of standing water/snow in the street then one "solution" is to wrap your shoes in plastic bags. This was only effective for about 7 of the 10 minutes I was outside. 70% is good in many things but not in shoe waterproofing. I would say nothing less than 100% is acceptable.
