PHOTO: Snow Covers Cairo, Egypt for First Time in 100 Years (See Pictures)



According to the reports from Cairo Egypt, A winter storm brought snow to the city of Cairo Egypt, a place known for heat and sand.


The snow described as 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 (Mashable).

Instagram quickly filled with images of snowball fights and landscapes, but in areas like Palestine, some were caught off guard. The United Nations expressed concern for refugees caught in the cold, but many families are ineligible for help because they are not registered with the UN, according to Al Jazeera.

I heard that it happened unexpectedly on Wednesday (11/12/2013) over night. Wow, how I wish we wake up tomorrow morning here in Nigeria and find snow everywhere. Do you want it in Nigeria?

Egyptians were delighted to see the snow as some of them have never seen such thing before and to expressed their amazement, they took to social media; Twitter, Facebook and Instagram in words and shared pictures.

See some of the pictures of the icy storm found on friends’ social media after the cut…
