Excitement! How often does Amman get snow, or Jerusalem for that matter?

Parts of Amman are at 1300 - 1400 metres, reasonably high but still it is rare to get snow. We had it once last year for a couple of days but not every year. I'm hoping it wont materialise this year but I'm a pessimist.

In the past, snow in Jordan has sometimes made the international news.
Last year central Maryland barely had any snow. So far this year looks like a repeat. While I am not a huge snow fan, I say "Boo". It is nice to have 10 cm of snow from time to time.

Hi all. liiisa working a whole week does seem a bit harsh - mini1 has suggested that he should go to daycare just 2 days then be at home 2 days. I have to say I don't completely disagree with the idea.

quick cuppa before studying for the next exam... or maybe a nap first...

I'd never say no to a nap, auntie.
I have to go to the dentist this morning...bleurg. That means a frozen mouth, mumbling and dribbling coffee down my chin for a few hours after.

actually slept a good hour. oops!
Hoping the dentist did a better job of local anesthesis than you describe above today, maple!

I remember the very first local anaesthetic I had. I was nervous but the dentist was even more nervous. He gave me a whiff of gas first to knock me out while he stabbed at my gums with the needle.

Post by mapletree3 on Jan 7, 2013 20:15:21 GMT 2
mumble, mumble..drool. Actually it's not too bad. The freezing is isolated to the top and I can still feel my tongue. I've never had gas at the dentist, is it pleasant?
|

Post by auntieannie on Jan 7, 2013 20:22:44 GMT 2
from first aid experience, Maple, it normally is, as it just whacks you out a bit. but some people are intolerant to the gas used and they get violently sick....

Post by mapletree3 on Jan 7, 2013 20:24:30 GMT 2
Violently sick! That sounds like a gamble I don't want to take.

on the coast it is fantastic, inland late 30's and interstate it is catastrophic for some areas in terms of fire warnings........interesting part is one of those areas I was due to start a few weeks work so I might delay that for a day or two...or wait for snow? Snow up to the grand wazoo is okay fire not so!
