Snow Covers Egypt for First Time in 100 Years.

 It snowed in Cairo today for the first time in, well ... a long time! Nobody in Cairo was dreaming of a white Christmas, but it looks like they'll get one. The worst snowstorm in more than 50 years hit the Middle East, blanketing Cairo, Jerusalem and areas of Syria in white powder. It was the first time in 100 years that Egypt had seen snow. In areas like Palestine, some were caught off guard.

          The United Nations expressed concern for refugees caught in the cold, but many families are ineligible for help because they are not registered with the UN, according to Al Jazeera.
