Its raining ice sago!

Recently, we went to experience some snow together with Poochi. Since the weather had been so cold, it  actually snowed in Jerusalem (seem that its quite a big deal to snow in the holy city) but we din go as it was too crowded, so we went to a high point close to Jerusalem to experience the snow.

It was freezing cold at about 3-4 degree celsuis outside. My hands were so cold that it turned red and numb coz I forgot to wear gloves. At first Poochi was fine but after 4-5 mins outside, he started walking very slowly and looked v miserable. Guess he cant take the extreme cold, as he is a indoor doggy afterall.

Further up the hill was the air force monument.

When I thought there were no snow to be found, it suddenly rained and guess what, tiny drops of white ice started falling. It actually hurts a bit when it landed on my face. Yeah! :D

 Managed to gathered the ice together and formed a ice ball!

Snow started forming on the ground

Little ice balls dropping on the car hood, it melts as soon as it landed.

 Poor Poochi was shivering uncontrollably so we din dared to bring him out to play with the snow. He cant survive at temperature below 10 degrees celsuis.

 The ice started piling up on the car as the rain got bigger.

It got very misty suddenly.

Next, we went to this Ayalon-Canada Park nearby to take some pics of the almond tree flowers. It looked a lot like cherry blossoms.

Right after taking this pic, it started raining heavily, so we decided to call it a day as we were cold, wet and shivering....
