The snowfall in The Sahara Desert town of Ain Sefra this morning
Snow in The Sahara - 20 Jan 2017
The SAHARA Desert has had the biggest SNOWFALL in living memory after a freak winter storm this morning (Fri) - just days after 2016 was found to be the world's warmest year ever. Photographers have taken incredible pictures this morning of ONE METRE deep snow covering the sand in the small Saharan desert town of Ain Sefra. The town saw a sprinkling of snow just before Christmas, when a few flakes settled on the red sand dunes of the world's hottest desert for the first time in 37 years.
But today the snow has been falling steadily and is now waist deep in some parts of Ain Sefra, which is known as "The Gateway to the Desert." The snow has caused chaos in the town, with passengers stranded on buses after the roads became slippery and icy.
