The Golan Heights usually have snow in
winter but otherwise snow is rare in our part of the world. Every few
years there is some snow in Israel - 7 years ago there was a huge
snowfall in Jerusalem which caused chaos. This year there was a smaller
snowfall there. But also this year the higher areas of the Negev desert
also had snow and the Segolis were happy to take advantage of the snow
in their "backyard" and enjoy the desert snow on the Amasa Hill
(הר עמשא) part of the Hebron Hills in the northern Negev.
