It started snowing yesterday and continued through the night, and we are still enjoying flakes falling outside the office window. Our cats are particularly put out by the weather because it's been raining/snowing for about a week now without any change and they are quite desperate to go do their hooligan business outside. But it's cold and wet and miserable out there, so instead the cats just meow piteously at the window.

It's raining, raining, raining. Snow is still in the forecast for later in the week and I think most of us are crossing our fingers that we'll get to see some. There's something special about experiencing snow in the desert.

Last year we had a nice big snow storm. Amman is a very hilly city so a little bit of ice goes a long way in making it treacherous. But it was really fun to take a walk around the neighborhood and see everyone out enjoying the weather. A couple men had even stolen their wives' tea trays to go sledding.
