Arab weather - in conjunction with the weather events that the Kingdom witnesses in the winter season, snow may come and carry joy with it for the Jordanians, as the Jordanian people are among the most loving people in the world to this weather phenomenon, but there are wrong behaviors issued by some that make snowfall a negative thing For many, and here we highlight some negative or wrong behaviors among Jordanians during the winter and snowfall season :
1. Unexplained bread queues and a rush to the markets : Perhaps this behavior is the result of one experience that Jordanians went through that changed Jordanians ’thinking about the period in which it fell, which is what happened in the winter of 1991/1992, when the exceptional snow caused roads to be closed for long periods, and stopped The bakeries were not working, so many remained without bread for several days, but things have changed these days. The bakeries have doubled their numbers, and the population density has increased in a way that does not allow all the capital's roads to be closed for long periods of time, so there was no interruption of bread in any of the years that witnessed snowfalls on the capital and Major Jordanian cities .
2. The existence of a wrong understanding of the nature of weather forecasts: the weather is an open field with dozens of variables, so it is difficult to control, monitor or predict 100% accurately. Some people associate the accuracy of weather forecasts with precipitation or snow in front of their homes or in their neighborhood, without looking at things in a face. In general, then the weather forecast is blamed, despite the predictor's fatigue and diligence to provide accurate predictions by a rate that may exceed 90%, and that all matters are in the hands of God Almighty .
3. Going out onto the roads unnecessarily and flushing cars: The rainy or snowy weather may tempt many people to go out with their cars onto slippery roads, which poses a danger to them and others, and some daredevils may exceed the limit by making show movements on the roads in the middle of the snow and cars full of families trying to reach To their homes safely, exposing himself and all cars in the place to danger without any reason .
4. Exit in cars not equipped for rainy or snowy weather : This causes obstruction to the work of civil defense mechanisms. Often citizens are excited and go out without inspecting their cars or preparing them for the prevailing weather conditions. Cars fail and remain stuck in the streets, closing the road to ambulances, emergency situations and road opening mechanisms .
5. Throwing snowballs at people and cars : People’s property may be damaged and one of them may lose his car windshield due to unjustified banter.
6. Using snow as an excuse to stop studying or work: Many people consider the expectations of snowfall in any area in Jordan as an excuse for not studying for exams or for stopping work. Whatever the weather forecast, it may not be 100% accurate, and the decision to suspend studies and exams, Or the suspension of work is only in the hands of the relevant ministries.
7. Parents' negligence in letting their children play outside for long periods: the child stays playing in the cold under the snow for very long hours, and may return home in a state of complete wetness, and exposes his cold body directly to heating, which leads to multiple complications and health dangers .
