Snowstorm paralyzes higher Chouf, shuts down schools and roads

NNA – The snowstorm currently hitting Lebanon blanketed the mid-altitude regions of Chouf, bringing traffic to a standstill in the higher areas and forcing the closure of several institutions, including schools.nbsp;

The heavy snowfall also led to the closure of the main road connecting Maaser el-Chouf to the Cedars and Kefraya in the Bekaa.nbsp;nbsp;

The storm was accompanied by thunder, lightning, and dense fog, further complicating conditions.nbsp;

Meanwhile, the torrential rain and hail replenished water streams that had dried up in recent weeks.
