BEIRUT: Winter-like weather returned to Lebanon late-Friday, with heavy overnight rain along the coast and snowfall in the mountains.

Intermittent rain and snow will continue over the weekend as temperatures slowly drop until Monday, according to the Meteorological Department at Beirut airport.

Some mountain roads, including the Kfar Debian road linking Beirut to the Bekaa Valley, were only opened for cars equipped with chains as a result of the snowfall Saturday, according to the Traffic Management Center.
