How often does it really snow in Jerusalem?

Snow in Jerusalem is a rare occurrence, typically happening only once every few years. When it does snow, it usually falls lightly and melts quickly, with significant accumulation being uncommon. The city's elevation (about 750 meters or 2,460 feet above sea level) contributes to this occasional snowfall, but overall, Jerusalem has a Mediterranean climate characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters.
