"Parts of the south-west Africa nation of Namibia usually associated with heat and dust have been blanketed in snow.
"A storm brought sub zero temperatures and snow to the Namib-Naukluft Park this week, which local forecasters have described as an extremely rare event. The average overnight temperature, measured from Tuesday 18h00 until 06h00 Wednesday, was a record low of 2.1 degrees Celsius. According to namibiaweather.info, the lowest temperature recorded by weather stations on Tuesday was minus 7.8 degrees Celsius, just south of Waterberg in the Otjozondjupa Region. The cold conditions are expected were expected to ease Thursday. The Namib-Naukluft National Park is a national park of Namibia encompassing part of the Namib Desert (considered the world?s oldest desert) and the Naukluft mountain range. The Namib-Naukluft is the largest game park in Africa and the fourth largest in the world."

There has been some bizarre weather in the region.

But also elsewhere:

"Meanwhile Lapland and parts of Russia, 200 miles above the Arctic Circle are having the highest temperatures ever. 30C in Lapland, and 31.1C in one case near Padun, Russia. That's 88 degrees F. So get this straight, the day that it snowed in the world's oldest desert, temps reached 88 in the High Arctic Circle. Topsy turvy!"

Namibia does have tarred roads but much of the system is graded gravel. I should imagine that it has been absolute hell for them moving heavy equipment around over the last few months.
