Snow fell in north and northwest Jordan, including the capital, Amman. Seeing snow itself isn’t that rare for the country; Jordan saw snow in 2019, too. But at 8 inches (20 centimeters), this week’s storm total is pretty notable. Clearly, it was pretty fun for some. But the snow also created complications, forcing the country to suspend its covid-19 vaccination drive due to the severe weather.
