It snows in UAE

In general, I tend to leave the Global Warming debate to environmentalists and policymakers. But I had to laugh at this one. For the first time in decades, it snowed in the United Arab Emirates. The event is so rare that local residents claim their dialect has no word for "snow".

If the local weatherman was correct (and I think he was) this is the second time in their recorded weather history...:D

It was reported during the same period in 2004 that there was snow fall in RAK Mountains, though most of the newspapers are stating that it is happening for the first time
