Unusual Snowfall In Jordan Cripples Air And Gound Traffic Across The Nation

Yafa, 8, watches the snowfall from her bedroom window, in Amman, Jordan, Jan. 10, 2013. The storm dumped two feet of snow on many parts of Jordan, shutting schools, stranding motorists and delaying international flights, Jordanian weatherman Mohammed Samawi said. He called it the “fiercest storm to hit the Mideast in the month of January in at least 30 years.”
