CANTON There are times when you see snow in the Middle East. You just don't see as much as a dozen Israeli visitors have seen the last couple of days.

And you generally don't find yourself trapped in massive airports for hours because of snowstorms hundreds of miles away.

This week's weather is an addition to the experiences of the Young Israeli Dancers troupe that visited this week. The troupe performs tonight at the Canton Jewish Community Center as part of the Israeli Performing Artists Series.

Weather delayed the troupe's arrival in Canton on Tuesday. It also wiped out classes on movement with students at Canton Country Day School and classes at the Canton Ballet School.
