Crazy Weather

This is like the beginning of a scary movie where the narration will eventually turn to frogs raining from the sky and giant spiders crawling out of volcanoes or something. Weird shit that the Climate Science guys have been telling us we can expect, and that will be actively deliberately ignored by "conservatives" - many of whom are already claiming these reports are false, and just part of the global conspiracy to keep us from compensating for our small wieners by driving big stoopid trucks and SUVs.

A powerful storm bringing sub-zero temperatures has transformed parts of the Saudi Arabian desert into a winter wonderland.

Residents of Tabuk, 193 kilometres from the Red Sea, awoke to see the region's dry desert coated in white snow, leaving many in awe.

Tabuk, one of the coldest regions in Saudi Arabia, typically dips to 4 degrees Celsius at this time of year but it is usually dry, according to AccuWeather senior meteorologist Eric Leister.

Videos began circulating online showing camels shuffling through snow instead of sand, as residents enjoyed some snow play.

And it did not take long for the higher areas near Tabuk which were blanketed by the snow to become popular with locals and tourists in the area, local media reported.

Images of the unusual scenes quickly went viral, with people across the kingdom and in neighbouring countries clamouring to view and share them.
