Snow in UAE

We often joke about it being 18 degrees both here in the desert and at home in TN. Eighteen degrees Celsius in Abu Dhabi and 18 degrees Fahrenheit in TN! Sorry, it is probably not as funny to you.

Maybe this will make you feel better...it recently snowed in the UAE, for the second time in recorded history. It was in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah on top of Jebel Jais mountain. Snow is so unheard of that the local dialect does not have a word for it!

Now let's all keep this a secret from Al Gore. It might harm his view of the world.
