Snowballs for stones in Jerusalem

Witness to centuries of bloodshed, the ancient walls of Jerusalem's Old City saw only white Tuesday as Palestinians and Israelis traded snowballs instead of stones and bullets.

The exchange - between Palestinian youths and Israeli passers-by at the ancient Dung Gate - came in celebration of a rare heavy snowstorm that brought much of the Holy Land to a standstill, offering a respite from 29 months of fighting.

"This sort of thing gives everyone perspective. It makes people focus on what they have in common rather than politics," veteran Israeli meteorologist Danny Roup told Reuters.

Well, here's the secret behind the snow...

Last Wednesday, Batya's brother and sister-in-law had a new daughter. Had the baby been a boy, today would have been the cicumcision. And whenever there is such an event in Batya's family of late, it snows. It even snowed briefly the morning of a bris five days before Passover.

So the weather angel thought there was a bris, and made it snow in Israel. :)
