Snow in the Sahara desert- Only the second time in living memory
The second time in living memory, and the first time in 37 years.
Snow was last seen in the Algerian town of Ain Sefra on February 18, 1979. At that time, the snow storm lasted just half an hour. This time the snow stayed for a day.
Ain Sefra is about 3280 feet (1000 m) above sea level.
And remember, Algeria is south of the Mediterranean Sea.
