Nobody in Cairo was dreaming of a white Christmas, but it looks like they'll get one. The worst snowstorm in more than 50 years hit the Middle East, blanketing Cairo, Jerusalem and areas of Syria in white powder. It was the first time in 100 years that Egypt had seen snow.

Yes, he's the one dressed like Tigger.

Actually, global warming can account for increased snowfall. Areas that normally freeze during the winter leave more water available for evaporation when this doesn't happen, putting more moisture (and therefore more precipitation) into the clouds.

So when are we going to get snow in the Sierras?

I am supposed to spend New Years in Yosemite and there is little to no snow there.

They can't drive under perfect conditions. It must be a disaster on the roads today.

Look like you should head to Cairo instead.

Thank you Dr. George Fishbeck.

It's not called Global Warming anymore. It's called "climate change". That way any weather at all supports their claims.

Ha. I miss that guy.

Hopefully it cools the temperatures of the regions.

The best part is you can hear their camels laughing in the background.

Was I the only one that had "Walk Like an Egyptian" playing in my head while looking through the pics?
