A lot of Egyptians did not expect a white Christmas, but that is what they will be getting this year
Cairo has been transformed into a winter wonderland after a "historic" storm in the Middle East brought a rare treat to Egypt's capital Friday: a blanket of powdery, white snow.
Due to Cairo's low rate of precipitation and typically above-freezing winter temperatures, snow is an exceptionally unusual weather phenomenon for the North African city. So unusual, in fact, that the Los Angeles Times, citing local news reports, writes that the last recorded snowfall in Cairo was more than 100 years ago.
Ali Abdelazim, an official at the city's meteorological centre, confirmed to the Agence France-Presse this is the "first time in very many years" that snow has fallen in the Cairo area.Excited Egytians took to social media Friday to share photographs of the unusual meteorological event.
Though the snow brought delight to many Cairo residents, the winter storm -- dubbed "Alexa" -- proved to be bad news for some neighbors.
Alexa brought more misery to thousands of Syrian refugees living in the region, many of whom were unprepared for the cold, brutal conditions.
In Israel, where the storm reportedly brought the heaviest December snowfall since 1953, roads had to be closed and thousands were left without power from the inclement weather. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

DeleteNow that their BS global warming science is unraveling, what will they come up with again. What happened to the "earth is scorching Armageddon" predicted by the "climate scientists"? What will happen to Al Gore now?
ReplyDeleteSnow in Cairo is a strange climatic phenomenon that justifies Al Gore my friend. You need to see the movie 'Day After Tomorrow' to get a little understanding. It might just be only a movie but it was based on what could happen if we don't manage the Green House Gas emissions.
