Bizarre weather: Mountain blanketed by freak snowfall in Saudi Arabian mountains

Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “Bizarre weather: Mountain blanketed by freak snowfall in Saudi Arabian mountains” – below is their description.

Snow- and ice-covered the dunes in Saudi Arabia after temperatures dropped below freezing, prompting locals to enjoy the weather and have snowball fights. Saudi Arabians flocked to Jabal al-Lawz, otherwise known as Almond Mountain, in the northwestern region of Tabuk, as snow covered the area. Recent snowfall and hailstorms in the region have meant the usually golden-colored dunes are now covered with white snow. Earlier this month, Saudi photographer Osama Al-Habri captured aerial footage of people gathering in Badr Governorate, southwest of the city of Medina on January 11, to experience the unusual sight. Al-Harbi told CNN that a ‘historic hailstorm’ has prompted the desert to be blanketed in thick snow and ice.
