A short bout of snowstorm turned the crimson desert into a white fairyland. The Tabuk region, along the coast of Red Sea, in the northwest part of Saudi Arabia was swathed in snow as the mercury level suddenly dipped to a freezing minus 2 degree Celsius. The frosty weather is not entirely unusual, however, snowfall in Saudi Arabia is an uncommon occurrence. The accumulation of snow was heavier and thicker in the higher elevations. Traditionally, during the winter season in Saudi Arabia, the average temperature hovers around 20 degrees. While the jury\u2019s still out on what caused this event, the locals can be seen, in the pictures below, making the most of this random cold snap, by either sledding down hills or taking their vehicles for a spin before the freshly fallen snow melted.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D8%AC%D8%A8%D9%84_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%84%D9%88%D8%B2?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u062c\u0628\u0644_\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0648\u0632<\/a> Winter is here in tabuk \u2744\ufe0f. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/v9FIcPiR5S\">pic.twitter.com\/v9FIcPiR5S<\/a> \u2014 \u062e\u0627\u0644\u062f.
