Heavy snowfall begins in Jerusalem

Heavy snowfall has begun in Jerusalem, accompanied by icy roads and dense fog.

Police in ponchos seal off the exits to the city, including highways 443 and 1, for fear that the mountainous roads are too dangerous for travel.

The city is now shut down, likely for at least a day or two.
