Rain and fog and cold!

Yesterday, it started raining, just as predicted. And it has been either raining or foggy or (most of the time) both ever since. Much of the time, the fog has been so heavy that we can barely see across the street! We did make it to Nahariya and back yesterday without any problems, though. I just had to drive more slowly than usual, especially in the areas where the fog was pretty thick.

Today (Shabbat), we're just staying home. This morning I fed the snakes, and this afternoon, I'm relaxing. This weather is now predicted to last at least through tomorrow, and there's even a possibility of rain on Monday and Tuesday. Much as I dislike rain, I have to admit that we REALLY need this, so I won't complain, especially since it's also bringing snow to הר חרמון Har Khermon (Mt. Hermon, the highest point in the country).

The temperatures are staying from just above freezing to about 6˚C (about 43˚F), at least according to the weather forecasts (I don't actually have a thermometer to measure them).
