Out for a walk amongst the SUVs
There are no snow plows in Jordan, but a number of front loaders were deployed to clear roads. Even our sleepy residential street was plowed within the first day - that would be speedy in DC! Despite the road clearing, it would be foolish to drive today in anything but a 4 x 4. Amman is a hilly town, with roads at a steeper grade than is permitted in the US. Add to that the carelessness of pedestrians walking in the street (a dangerous practice even in warm weather) and you have a recipe for a deadly commute.

That is a LOT of snow. Who'd have thunk it! Congrats on the extra snow days!
Oh my...my preconceptions are showing again! You're in the Middle East...who thought it would snow? I think Dan looks like he's in one of those "before" shots, where the next shot shows a Mongo truck sliding through the intersection and Dan (hopefully) getting out of the way and (narrowly) avoiding a gruesome roadkill experience.
