Today Israel Is Not a Normal Country

I posted a few weeks ago that the Snow in Jerusalem made Israel a normal country for one day. Today, I am happy to report that Israel is definitely not a normal country. No, it is not the rockets in Sderot but the snow. I walked through very sunny and warm Herzliya Pituach today (65 degrees) and saw this odd site.

The top picture below is that of workers building a Snowboard ramp in Herzliya Pituach to be used for a snowboarding fun night this evening at 7:30pm. They brought the snow from the Hermon. What was not being thrown as snowballs by the over excited workers, was melting pretty quickly.

This is a view from the motorboat parked outside the snowboard ramp. you can see the snow in the background.

And the proud sponsor with a tent above the snow...
