First Snow in Jordan

Torrential rain, hail, extensive flooding and now over a foot of SNOW!

This snowstorm that has hit the Middle East is the worst in years. At least eight people have died across the region and Syrian refugees throughout the region are suffering terribly.

Despite tragedy, last night and early this morning, there’s a feeling of excitement in the air. People are having snowball fights across rooftops today and last night, there were men slipping and singing as they walked from downtown Amman.

Stay tuned for more photos throughout the day.
