It's snowing today, where we are. It's pretty from my kitchen window.
This snow follows 2-3 days of the hardest rain we've seen since we've arrived. Much of the city struggles with flooding. We are thankful to God for our nice dry, fairly warm, 3rd floor apartment. 
This was the view from our classroom. That "fountain" is coming from a drainage hole, obviously flooded so much that the water is pushing up from the other direction (you can't tell that fountain is 5 ft tall!!!). Our city struggles all year with water shortages. It's drainage systems weren't built for this much water.
What you can't see well, is the line of cars at the back with water up to their doors.
Our hearts go out to the many who are suffering from flooding conditions. It is hard to imagine what this would be like, if our family lived in a tent, like the Syrian refugees in this story . These are families, just like ours, who are struggling to survive this storm. Please lift up these and other refugees in difficult living conditions today!
