Today is January 31 and our 2nd snow-day. Yesterday we woke up to blizzard-like conditions here on the Mount of Olives and looked down on a “paralysed” Jerusalem. It’s impossible for cars and buses to drive up At Tur St. from Wadi Joz. The hill must be close to 45 degrees, and without snow-clearing equipment or proper tires, there’s no chance of getting up the hill.
Donna and I have enjoyed the leisurely mornings with schools being closed for two days and the hospital administration absent. Living right next door, I went in to my office today to check email, and was the only one there. Fortunately some staff live in hospital dorms and so essential services were maintained. Nobody from the Guest House has been able to get to work, which has provided the opportunity for some pleasant socializing and good conversation over breakfast and lunch.
Yesterday we went out into the garden and made a snowman, much to the amusement of our Guest House friends who got a kick out of the crazy Canucks out in the blizzard. Our pix tell the story.
