Israeli government officials gathered for a final run-through Tuesday in Jerusalem to prepare for Epic Snowstorm 2.0, slated to hit Wednesday.

It's only Tuesday, but Shuk Machane Yehuda is packed with shoppers buying food and supplies to wait out the snow storm.    

Last year's December snow, which fell over four days, from December 10--14, was considered a national disaster in Jerusalem, having forced the city’s shops, businesses, schools and roadways to shut down, accumulating up to NIS 300 million in losses.

Snow may fall, but not accumulate, in areas as low as Modi’in.

Snow will fall at altitudes as low as 2,000 feet above seas level. Accumulation in Jerusalem still a question mark.

Heavy snow will fall mainly in the north by mid-week, but even lower hills can expect at least a dusting.

Snow will fall on Gush Etzion, the Galilee and the Central Negev, followed by cold, cold temperatures.
