by

Continuing the winter system in the last week, in the coming days the rain and low temperatures are expected to continue to frequent our area. Today (Wednesday) it rained intermittently from the north of the country to the Negev, accompanied by thunderstorms, hail and strong winds. Temperatures will continue to drop and it will be colder than usual for the season. Snow fell on Mount Hermon and in the northern Golan Heights, there is a chance of light snow also on the peaks of the Galilee and central mountains over 900 meters.

Already at night, cold air penetrated our areas, causing heavy snow on Mount Hermon, when between morning and noon, a short “window of opportunity” opened for light snow in the air, even in areas of 900 meters in the north and in the central mountains in the 900 meters. This snow is expected to be in the high mountain area in Samaria, Hebron, Kiryat Arba and maybe some flakes in the high places in Jerusalem.

From the afternoon the rains will weaken and diminish, at night the rain will stop and it will be very cold, with fear of cold in the places.

The Hermon site said: “The system is at its peak this morning! The Hermon site is covered in a thick layer of snow that continues to fall intermittently even now.

At the top level about 70 cm, at the bottom about 40 cm. Temperature Top level 4 and bottom level 1, fog and strong winds blowing. At noon, the snow is expected to stop, but the extreme cold will continue. ”

The Hermon site, due to the closure, is closed to visitors and surfers. The site’s management said: “We hope that at the end of the closure days we will receive from the Ministry of Health, an opening permit under a detailed outline that we prepared in advance along with any guidance required. Snow without visitors and skiers is not snow.” Raphael Naveh, CEO of the Hermon site, noted. ”
