Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion says the municipality has not yet decided if schools and kindergartens in the city will close tomorrow in light of the forecast snow.

“We will make a decision this evening or in the morning as to whether there will be classes or not,” Lion tells the Kan public broadcaster.

Temperatures have dropped across the country with rain set to begin overnight and continue into Tuesday along with strong winds.

Light snow is forecast for mountainous area and in the north and central regions.

Celebrations for the upcoming Purim festival were moved forward in some towns and cities across Israel, including Jerusalem, to avoid expected stormy weather.
