...work was cancelled...

It was so Israeli when work was cancelled because of the snow.  As a Chicagoan, I do admit that there were some significant flurries.  As an Israeli, I can assess that it was a crazy happening.  Grocery stores were packed, buses were delayed and canceled, preschools, schools, stores, and other places of work were closed, people were having snowball fights; it was unreal.  I have a few pictures from my window.  Once I got home, though, the snow had stopped and had already started to melt.  It was a bit snowier about an hour earlier, and in other neighborhoods in Jerusalem, there was also more snow than we had... Now I am in bed enjoying my snow day!
