  1. Petra 🇯🇴 JordanSnow and winter closures · 5. jan. – 28. feb. (normalt)Wadi Musa sits high enough to take snow in some winters, most recently in February 2024, which can shut the site for a day or two while the Siq and the Monastery steps are icy.79

  14. Louisville 🇺🇸 United StatesWinter ice storms · 1. jan. – 28. feb. (normalt)The Ohio valley sits on the line where southern moisture meets cold air, so the winter problem here is freezing rain rather than snow.50
