Title SNOW IN HAIFA.
Scope and content The weather continues to make news in Israel as record after record is broken as this winter becomes the wettest and coldest this century. Heavy snow has fallen in the north of the country, causing havoc to traffic as well as killing many thousands of farm animals who have been overcome by cold and thirst. Many farms have been without sufficient water as pipes became frozen and farmers were unable to arrange alternative ways to get water to their livestock. Haifa saw its first snowfall for forty years with motorist unprepared to cope with the unusual circumstances. The temperature on the coastal plain rarely falls below freezing point in the winter. This year the night temperature in the past few weeks in the coastal plain has rarely gone above freezing in open areas during the nights. The army had been coordinating with civilian authorities to ensure essential food and medical needs get to remote settlement in the Golan. The Electricty generating authority also recorded the highest use ever of electricity yesterday evening as households used ever type of heating appliance to beat the cold. Photo shows: The picture shows motorists just outside Haifa helping a driver to negotiate his car up a slippery gradient.
