Jerusalem, Safed, Golan towns prepare for snowstorm
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJerusalem and towns in Israel’s north are preparing for a brief but possibly powerful snowstorm Wednesday afternoon.
In Jerusalem, the city has set aside 150 cars, trucks and tractors with snow plows attached, as well as 200 tons of salt to ensure major roads in the capital won’t freeze.
On the Golan Heights and in the mountaintop city of Safed, municipalities convened emergency crews to prepare for possible shutdown of services on Wednesday.
The Safed municipality says schools will close at 1:30 p.m. to allow children to get home by the time the snowfall is set to begin.
