You won’t even find a Christmas card with a snowy symbol of the Greek capital, but in life, please.
In the holy city, the same. It is true that here in Jerusalem in 2013, the snow was covered for three days.

Winter is never warm in Istanbul, but the dome of the Hagia Sophia changes from blue to white far from every winter. This year, the white dome should last more than a day: the temperature in the city is around 3 degrees below zero and the snowfall should continue for several more days.
And since winter is no anomaly in America’s second-largest state, Texas, this year’s winter has also brought surprises here. And very unpleasant.
In severe weather, nearly three million homes were without power. Millions of people live without electricity and without heat for the third day in a row.
In Texas, the electricity market is unregulated, which does not force operators to prepare for extreme colds, so problems continue for years.
This year’s frosts have claimed 21 lives. No warming is expected in the next few days.
The state of Texas is the largest producer of energy in the United States, but it is not only Americans who suffer from poor preparation of power generation companies for the winter.
As the severe frosts subside, the pipeline valves freeze, causing the people of northern Mexico to feel the winter jokes, as their power plants are powered by gas flowing from Texas. But only when the gas is flowing.
At the beginning of the week, nearly 5 million consumers in Mexican states bordering the United States were without power due to frozen pipes. Mexico itself is to blame. It does not yet have natural gas storage facilities that allow it to accumulate a gas reserve, so now it only has to depend on the grace of nature, but it is not expected to be in the coming days.
