Rare snowfall blankets Jerusalem



Jerusalem's iconic Dome of the Rock - normally a resplendent gold - was turned half white on Wednesday morning.

Snowfalls blanketed streets and buildings with an inch-thick of powder.

In a city more used to high temperatures than snow, the wintry weather seemed to be appreciated by those residents braving the cold.

"The snow brings people together," said Oded Goldberger, 19, wearing a hat and gloves. "It's something really special."

In some parts of Jerusalem, people were making snowmen while others were having snowball fights.

The city's mayor is expected to judge a snowman competition on Wednesday afternoon.
