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

When it comes to rain, the Sahara only gets between half an inch and four inches of rain per year (that's not a lot!).But snow, in the desert? That's unheard of ... right?An amateur photographer just happened to be on hand to catch an honest-to-God snowfall in the Sahara Desert.The snow fell in a town called Ain Sefra in Algeria, much to the shock of its residents.It's actually not the first time this region of the Sahara has been dusted with white powder. Snowfall hit the area all the way back in 1979.There are also reports of light dustings elsewhere across the Sahara in 2005 and 2012.
