Orange snow reported across eastern Europe


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

People in eastern Europe have been wondering at the appearance of orange-tinted snow.

Pictures of the snow have been posted on social media from Russia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Romania and Moldova.

Meteorologists say the phenomenon is caused by sand from Sahara desert storms mixing with snow and rain.

It occurs roughly once every five years but concentrations of sand are higher than usual his time. People have complained of sand in their mouths.

Definitely, since men couldn't write their names in the snow anymore.  :-)

Dang, here I had my regulation conspiracy theory hat cinched down tight, ready for a fight, and sand dust? This sounds almost reasonable. *shuffles off muttering to himself*
