Heavy Snow in Syria and Lebanon
February 22, 2012 | Earth Observatory

“From February 17 to 19, a severe storm blasted the Lebanese coast with 100-kilometer (60-mile) winds and dropped as much as 2 meters (7 feet) of snow on parts of the country! Temperatures dropped to near freezing along the coast, while snowplows struggled to clear the main roadway between Beirut and Damascus.” Quoted from the Earth Observatory website.
