The closest thing we get to snow!

While our family in Chicago gets 7 inches of snow and the Northeast gets brutally cold weather, here in Haifa it's not really snowing but this tree makes it almost look like it it is. This is a flowering almond tree and it proves that Spring is actually here. Winter here is cold and rainy and although we are still getting cold night and sometimes LOTS of rain, we also are getting lots of green. The weather yesterday was an absolutely stunning day and this photo is proof that February is the start of Spring here.
