Now he is in Jerusalem - the Gore Effect

I had written a few days ago about the Gore Effect and how the Goracle must be in China. Well, now it's Israel's turn -- from CNN/AP:
Snowfall shuts down Jerusalem
A heavy overnight snowstorm blanketed Jerusalem and other parts of the Holy Land in white on Wednesday, closing schools and stores and grounding public transportation.

The sense of excitement among Israelis, used to warm Middle Eastern weather, was palpable.

Children threw snowballs on slushy streets, and weather reports topped local newscasts, eclipsing an upcoming government report on the 2006 war in Lebanon that could pressure Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to resign.

Snow often falls in Jerusalem once or twice each winter, but temperatures rarely drop low enough for it to stick.
Maybe it is just me but aren't we having a much colder winter than usual? Posted by DaveH at January 30, 2008 11:11 AM | TrackBack
