 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel Daniel Rosal here. It is a snow day in Druslam We woke up to the city covered in white as it was forecast. I'm just walking here through the neighborhood of Bacca in south Druslam. I'm on my way to the first station want to check out what's happening there apparently the snow party and The city is great. It's covered in white snow and everybody's enjoying it. I don't know. I don't know if anyone's actually working today So I'm gonna partake in the film myself too As you guys can see I'm sort of walking The middle of the road like this guy ahead of me because the pavement is just Kind of impossible to navigate if I just go on to the road here Never done a video here before back as lovely. It's like this village Ice cream store kalo bus stop, but this is the situation We have here at the moment After the overnight snow accumulation Little bit off to later start than I predicted or hoped Unfortunately It's already started raining So you had thick I mean comparatively speaking compared to last season snowfall. It's pretty thick so there are vigilantes, that's the wrong word, but there is local neighborhood people are just kind of coming out with their own tools to attempt to clean off some of the accumulation you can see the actual roads Have been cleared professionally using snow clouds snowplies But to try to get the footpath In a way you can use them There's people just kind of doing their best I'm walking towards the first station Because apparently they were advertising a snow party a little bit early in the morning to sponsor by some beer companies a little bit early in the day to think about drinking beer, but this is a Special occurrence why look at the accumulation here. It's crazy. So as to how often this happens I've been living in Jerusalem for six going on seven years The very first year I came you actually had like a decent snowstorm And then I remember a few years where it just didn't snow at all Last year we had one. I don't think we got this much snow. So this is You can see the grains of this building here Are just covered in snow So the road I'm walking on for those who don't know Jerusalem It's Bethlehem Road Bethlehem in Hebrew This one runs parallel to Hebron Road. It's crazy because there's I'm coming in here Why there's like these rivers Of freezing cold water My shoes are now just completely drenched But it's not as cold as it was yesterday. I thought I was gonna get frostbite. It was so cold last night Anyway, getting back to them now. I'm now doing some footpath navigation. I kind of like this reminds me a little bit about of Yom Kippur When they close all the roads and people pedestrians will just walk on any Road because there's kind of this unofficial tradition in which Motorists know the people are like gonna be on the road. So see people on like the highways That's a little bit what like it is. You can see all the pedestrians are just using the road I'm just gonna go back good because it's like really really Difficult to wade through the snow here Anyway, this is Bethlehem Road. I don't think as I said I've done a video here before I'm walking in the direction of the first station. I'm gonna put my umbrella because Technically there that's a government's building. It's the Mint. They have a sign up saying don't film That's a good clever censorship tool You can see the runoff from the melted snow beginning to form I need gloves So this is what it looks like Jerusalem in the snow Coming up ahead of us. We have a monastery I know this area pretty well We're past the government mince so I can film now Uh, this is a power plant Some variety This is great. It's sort of a preview of what life would be like if uh What a day to be alive I was supposed to be in Tel Aviv this morning I had a meeting scheduled for 12 and I just wrote to the Uh person I was meeting Say I wouldn't be able to come because Even if I want I can't get there the buses aren't running Usually on this road You see bus number seven So for me to get to Tel Aviv I either drive Which I hate I find driving in Israel super stressful because people drive like maniacs here Or I have to get a bus to the train station Then I get a train And that I can't do that if there's no Um Bus is running and I think the trains aren't running So there's basically no way and the police have closed off The roads going out of Jerusalem So we've two roads to Tel Aviv. They're road one And road 443 And to the best of my knowledge they're both closed So I just like It ain't happening I am doing a zoo meeting so I got to get back Home soon. We're meeting on zoom instead But other than that I would love to go to Bring some beer in the snow in the morning. So after my meeting I will uh go and do that I live in this direction So I'm going to return and loop back Um because I just wanted to record For posterity A little bit of the scene here Um, I see there's been tons and tons of videos on YouTube About the snow in Jerusalem. So I'm also doing this For my own memories I would love to um I might go down to Abu Tor in a little bit And we can see The view over the old city. This is what the sky is looking nice Crazy that there's like patches of blue peeking through Unfortunately I think that this is uh Is in terms of the snow. It's like a one day snow event It was forecast that uh The most heavy or the heaviest snowfall was going to be overnight And then I was going to gradually melt in the morning, which is exactly Exactly what's occurred It's going to be like Rainy now for the rest of the day here. Oh, I just ran into like a whole Ice patch This is my footwear currently completely waterlogged and freezing water It's not really worth Like properly equipping yourself for snow in Jerusalem because Or winter of that matter just doesn't get that cold And these kind of snow events for like once every few years. So Oh my god my feet are like icicles now It's just like submerging in a icicle bath All right This is a really nice street and back is a really nice neighborhood back is kind of What I picture Suburbs should look like it's got a town center It's got like a few little restaurants Like some dog is just like Took me Back a little bit All right guys, I'm going to pause the video now because I want to go and take some photos of Baka In the snow I wish this went on for another few days I feel like I have so many I have another two meetings in the afternoon. I've Not going to have time to really Have myself a snow party Going to be melted by the time And done us all this stuff These are the streets running off Baka and Let me get towards the German colony, which is like the next neighborhood over this street here Leads up to Hebron Road So I've talked about in many videos I guess these guys are all better equipped as footwear because they're not like kind of
