The Holy City of Jerusalem has been covered in a brilliant white blanket after the worst snowstorm in 20 years.

Schools and highways have been closed as up to eight inches of snow piled up in the city centre by this afternoon.

Israel and much of the surrounding region has been hit by five days of rain, wind and snow as temperatures have dipped below freezing.

Rand Paul’s fault.

Oh good, now we can swing the pendulum back to: The Coming Ice Age. Which, I believe is what they were pushing in the 70's.

Although, if I can keep up with these people, I believe they put severe snow into the "global warming" category; cause, the warming causes severe weather including snow??? It is hard to follow the logic.

H/T to the Drudge Report.

Wonder if God is going to put up his train set.

The picture of the snow-encrusted palm trees just looks surreal!

“Wonder if God is going to put up his train set.”

I love that comment. Funny, but I really wanted to put up my childhood train set for my family this Christmas, but just didn’t get to it. I have to get my priorities straight!

I think Socialists are moving back to “Overpopulation” as their next reason for implementing theft.

The coastal cities, such as Tel Aviv, never get any snow. Jerusalem is up in the mountains, so it sometimes gets a little snow, but hardly ever more than an inch.

Rueters:

Children makes snow angles

Notice the difference in the snowmen the Jews build and the snowmen the falsestinians build?
Jews: Carrots, scarves, and hats.
falsies: PA flags, masks, and weapons.

Stop Global Snowing!
