Wow! Sharp eyesight Steve! ;)

Thanks Steve and i turned the stamp up ;D May be this is because of the cold we are seeing here in Egypt. They say it has never been so cold like this since 122 years and we have seen snow in some cities but not mine :(

Talking about weather
Last night was amazing; I spent it with my two daughters and my wife watching the sky from our living room window. It was a great show. The sky of Cairo last night was as if morning has came at midnight, lightening and thunder for at least two continuous hours, and I mean continuous. Simply World War III .
Speaking about rain, simply it was a shower. Then something magnificent happened, I know that for most of you it is a usual thing to see, but for me it is my first time. Taking in consideration that I am 37 years old it is my first time to see snow.
Yes, in Egypt, it rained snow or whatever it is called. I know that the word Egypt and snow are not compatible with each other but that is what happened.
The TV, satellite and the land lines were dead for about three hours and I checked with my mother and brother through our mobiles since they live in two other cities and my brother told me that the street in front of his house is WHITE. Shocked
Although it was a terrifying night, it is to be remembered as the night when snow visited Egypt.

Yes Steve i remember the day but unfortunately this time it happened in other cities than mine
The last time it rained snow " small ice cubes" or whatever you call it and that is what happened in my city but at my brother's city it rained or snowed "i dont know what you all call it" small snow flakes that made the ground white and this is what happened again this year where my brother live.
I live in Giza and they snow this time in 6th of October and New Cairo but not Mohandeseen where i live.

This is what happened back in 2010

a quote from the article
"The longest cold spell was from February 3 to February 9, constituting 7 consecutive days with cooler than average low temperatures. "
