Snowing in Jerusalem!

Last weekend we had perfect weather in Jerusalem. It felt so much like summer that we went on a long walk, had a picnic in the park, and played frisbee with friends. It was warm, but not too warm since there was a perfect breeze.

Today, on the other hand, it is freezing! Literally! It's snowing!! During the Hanukkah break it had snowed once but we missed it because we were out of the country. This time, we just keep staring at it. Being from California and not being ski bunnies, we have both rarely seen real snow fall.

So we both sat on the couch this morning and stared out our bay-like window to watch the small, white flakes being twirled upon the wind. It was nice and cozy and comfortable inside, until Matt kept opening the windows to either take pictures and/or to stick his arm out to catch some snow. Needless to say, it's a bit chillier inside now and we have several small puddles forming near every window he opened in exploration.

Matt then had to head out into the snow (he's such a dedicated Ulpan goer, not even snow will stop him!). He has about a 20 minute walk to class, so he should definitely get his fill of snow falling on him by then...lol.

Looks like a good day to snuggle up in blankets and stay at home, which is exactly my day's plan. :)
