You have no doubt already been inundated with news and pictures of the snowstorm in Israel. So I thought I’d post my favorite photos out of the hundreds you may have already seen, and some you may not have.
The Swimmer
I guess she wanted her money’s worth during her stay at the hotel, given she was likely not able to leave the premises. Either way, I am hoping the pool was heated.
The Good Samaritans
The IDF did not just assist Israeli civilians, but also palestinians.

Meanwhile, palestinians accuse us of opening up dams just east of Gaza, which caused the flooding there. As opposed to the incessant rainfall.
You just can’t win.
The Contrast
A scene you could only see in Israel. Army Jews and traditional Charedi Jews doing their thing.
The Car
I woke up this morning and had to wait about 10 minutes while the ice defrosted from my front window.
Yeah, I was one of the lucky ones.
The Crazy Texan
This American living in Israel upped the macho stakes with this YouTube video. Which is just as well, given the amount of shrinkage no doubt involved.
The Ovadia
Some creative individual created this likeness of recently deceased Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.
The Stranded
This photo nicely captured the pandemonium on the roads during the snowstorm.
Did any other photos capture your imagination? If so, post in the comments.
