Ynet News is reporting that public transportation within Jerusalem has ceased because of heavy snow in and around the capital on Friday.

Lines from Tel Aviv and surrounding areas with service to Jerusalem have also been halted ahead of the sabbath, on the order of the traffic police, said an Egged bus lines representative.

He said the snow was causing dangerously slippery road conditions, according to Ynet.
