Snow Falls In The Sahara Desert For The First Time Since 1979, And It's Just As Beautiful As You Think

Does it ever snow in the desert? It sounds weird but, turns out it does. Joining in with the festivities around the globe, snow fell on the largest desert in the world, the Sahara Desert.

Outside of these bizarre occurrences, there's no clear record of major snow having ever hit the area before.(Though some high-altitude Sahara mountain ranges have been known to get snow, powder in the lower regions is extremely rare.)The photographer, Karim Bouchetata, said on Facebook that the snow stayed for about a day but quickly melted away.That leaves these incredible photographs as some of the only remaining evidence of an event that may not occur again for a decade or more. If ever.
