| The Kinneret is about .5-1 meter away from it's high water mark.
They are letting as much as possible flow through the locks
towards the Dead Sea.
It's snowing now in Jerusalem. There's around 5-12 inches in our
neighborhood. The Tel-Aviv-Jerusalem road is closed and the
police have asked people to stay off the roads within the city as
well.

| 1175.2 | some weather pattern? | CADSYS::HECTOR::RICHARDSON | | Tue Feb 25 1992 19:49 | 7 |
| I think Jerusalem may have gotten more snow this winter than Boston,
Mass., has gotten - odd weather! I suppose the whole global weather
pattern is influenced by the el nino, which is really strong this year.
It is to be hoped that this puts an end to the drought so that water
rights are a smaller part of the mideast peace negotations.

| 1175.3 | Latest Weather Report | TAVIS::JONATHAN | | Wed Feb 26 1992 15:54 | 13 |
| Last I heard, the Kinneret was only 35 cm (about 14 inches) from its
maximum level of -208.90 metres.
Warnings have been issued to people in Tiberias and surrounding areas
that serious flooding is imminent. The lake continues to rise about
1 cm every two hours.
There was heavy snow again last night (Tuesday evening) in the
Jerusalem area, and where I live in Efrat in Gush Etzion between
Betlehem and Hebron, the snow must be 40-50 cm high. Day temperature
around here is about -3 Centigrade.
Talk about too much of a good thing....

| 1175.4 | An end to seeding | TAV02::ARTHUR | Lampert, Israel Software Support | Wed Feb 26 1992 17:24 | 5 |
| I heard on the radio that they are going to stop seeding
the clouds.
Although why they should let all that good water cross
the border...

Is it true that wild flowers are starting to blossom in the desert,
because of all the snow/moisture from this winter?

The Negev always has some beautiful flora as a result of
the wet season. I expect that there's a bit more than usual
this year.

| I saw the normally bone-dry Judean Desert literally covered with
grass and flowers in mid-March. The people we were with - said they
have never seen a greening like this. Much of the desert looked like
a large, hilly lawn with some red, yellow and blue spots all over.

I've driven through both the Negev and Judaean deserts recently, and there's a
*lot* more than usual this year!

| re: last few
Since there is no possibility of my actually visiting the desert during
this bloom, I'm wondering if anyone has taken some pictures that I might
be able to look at?
