Snowfall in the Sahara

BBC:

The worst snowfalls in more than 50 years have paralysed Algeria's capital, Algiers, and more than a third of the country, the authorities say.

The bad weather is reported to have caused at least 10 deaths and hundreds of motorists have had to be rescued from their stranded vehicles.

Towns and villages have been cut off, while many sporting events have been postponed until next week.

Weather forecasters say the conditions will persist for several days.

Neighbouring Tunisia has also been affected.

Earlier this week the BBC was reporting that "global warming" was coming sooner than earlier predicted and Tony Blair was going to speak with President Bush about dealing with the issue. Apparently Bush worked quickly despite the record snow fall in Boston.
