Earth’s weird weather: Parts of Sahara desert, near Algeria, hit with snow

Posted on January 20, 2012 by The Extinction Protocol

January 20, 2012 – BECHAR, Algeria – Snow fell Tuesday in the Sahara Desert in western Algeria. A 24-hour cold spell brought snow and rain to the region. Strong wind blew the snow across roads and buildings in the province of Bechar. Meteorologists predicted a return of good weather Wednesday. People who live in the region said the snow was good for the palm trees because it killed parasites. Bechar is located in the northern Sahara, about 36 miles south of the Moroccan border. –Nine News

Snow also adds nitrogen …poor mans fertilizer.

  Oh, is that right? How interesting. Never heard that before, I was told lightning did that! Perhaps they both do?

    I confirm. Snowflakes capture a lot of air, which contains 3/4 nitrogen. Part of the nitrogen is then probably “driven” into the soil by the water when the snow melts.
    The problem here is, it works with soil, not sand.

I worked in Algeria for two years during the 1970’s.
Bechar is at an altitude of 750metres above sea level – a high plain area – Atlas Mountains.
Snow in the Algerian desert is not unusual.

  This again, is part of the problem of why the world will soon be neck deep in Earthchanges before they realize what the problem is. The Earth is composed on many interconnected systems. What’s happening to these systems have be examined holistically as a collective. In the world, every Earth Science division has its own government agency – few, if any, are interconnected.

  In a seven-month span of time, three desert regions have seen snow…while places prone to have heavy snowfall have seen none if any, particularly the Sierras Mnts which saw record amounts of snow in the winter of 2010-2011.

Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier is preparing to shed a 300-square-mile chunk of its ice to the ocean in a process of ice loss that has been accelerating in recent years.

The climate is changing. A week ago snow hit India. That was weird. People didn’t have even light jackets. And In Chicago the first snow this season was Jan 10th. Last year it was only one blizzard. We had snow one week. That’s all.
