It’s snowing in Cairo, Egypt today, a place that hasn’t seen snow in 112 years. Occasionally Cairo gets rainfall in December but obviously nothing like this. Temperatures dropped to 36 degrees Fahrenheit Friday morning which led to a snow/sleet mixture in Cairo’s eastern suburbs. The unseasonably cool temps will continue through Saturday.
Here are some pictures from Cairo residents.

Probably the first snow man ever made in Cairo, and this is how they make it. Only in #Egypt. Seriously. 🙂 pic.twitter.com/SpPbHaTzU6
