"The weather is stormy, there is a lot of rain, the sea waves are strong, so the weather is suitable for fishing. Fish land at the shore due to the strong waves, which makes it easier for us to catch them."
Accompanied by strong winds and rain, the snowstorm shut down roads in parts of Lebanon, prompting the government to use bulldozers to remove snow from the main roads.
