Weather report for Shabbat….. as we have started the barley watch:
Cold and wet weather has returned to Israel. Heavy snow on Mt Hermon; rain across in entire nation; thunderstorms in some areas. Across the nation, the high today is 15c (59F) with Hermon coming in a 1c (33F) [but it’s currently -2.4c/27f].
This is exactly why I won’t try to predict the barley. We wait for the Master Husbandman to do what He will do. Yes, it’s exciting; every year it’s exciting. It’s literally like seeing the Unseen Elohim by the work of His hands.
We turned the furnace back on today and I’m in one of my
wool shirts.
Thursday and Friday will see a break in the weather in the south and Tel Aviv. Sunny with temps around 19c/70f This will cause a big change in the height of the barley in the northern Negev….why the height? Because it doesn’t lack for water.Updated Feb 9, 2020, 9:00 PM
