As we see the rain showers escalate in Kuwait, the weather takes a sharp turn to cold. I have to say that that is the fastest switch to winter I have experienced here in the desert. I heard of reports last year that the Northern Saudi desert got a thin coating of snow.

What a great time to listen to Anggun’s “Snow On The Sahara.”

I keep wondering if this will ever reach Kuwait. I have experienced hard hailing here, but never snowflakes. And as we near the next Ice Age because of the affects of global warming, it is not as unlikely to see snowfall as it used to be. It’s not like it will happen now, but it’s not far-fetched. According to wikipedia: “planar crystals (thin and flat) grow in air between 0 °C (32 °F) and −3 °C (27 °F),” which are not unfathomable numbers. So, we might see it.

Meanwhile, you can enjoy iSnow. As Engadget puts it: “If you can’t get enough of the powdery stuff this winter, iSnow is just for you. It’s basically “a non-toxic polymer material which can be used to create artificial snow – just add a bit of water.” 

Watch it:
