It’s Raining Snow

February 9th, 2006

It’s 7:30am, I woke up 30 minutes ago to prepare to work, found it is snowing hard. So we had to do it.. Yes we do.. We opened on Jordan Television to see what they are saying and playing. It is part of snow traditions. It seems that the people in Jordan Television were ready. They had the regular snow program prepared:

  • Moved the program to be transmitted from the TV Garden (Aka حديقة التلفزيون)
  • Had the presenters prepared to hit each other, and have the camera man hit them with snow (خفة دم أردنية)
  • Started to play the pop Snow songs (ثلج وبرد (وائل كفوري) ، ثلج ثلج (فيروز), إلخ)
  • Have a Lt. on the line to give is main roads status.
  • Have a weatherman on the line to keep telling us the same thing every 30 minutes.
  • I suspect that they will show us one of the plays they have on the Shelve labeled “Snow and things” in the archive. Probably سك على بناتك or العيال كبرت.

Now all what you see above are symprtoms to a day off. No one said it is off, but once we see the TV staff hitting with each other with snow in the TV garden we can tell that that’s it. Once the Prime Minister see this on TV he must declare the day off to make us watch Jordan TV.

    Actually I started to hate snow cuz of the stupid routine we experience with TV and dirty streets later.

    They showed Fairoz song early today and ended showing Wael’s minutes ago, CRAP.

    I believe that it’s done this way so people would leave their beds and head to work, no? For me this is what i’ll do NOW.

    Hehe, very funny, and reminds me of Syrian television :P

    The usual cliche they say every single time a road is closed because of snow:
    طريق اللاذقية دمشق غير سالك بسبب تراكم الثلوج.

    Damn, I miss snow in Jordan. It used to snow so much when we were little kids. Remember winter in 1992?
