Heavy snows shut down ski slopes at a chilly, 1-degree-Celsius Mount Hermon on Sunday, where snow levels reached 130 centimeters on the higher peak and 95 centimeters on its lower portion. Snowstorms also hit the Golan Heights forcing authorities to shut down area schools. The area expects to see cloudy but slightly warmer weather conditions in the coming days. The Israel Electric Company called on the population to limit the use of electrical appliances on Sunday evening as it expects energy usage to be high due to the cold weather.
