A rare blanket of snow hit areas of Saudi Arabia on Monday, causing a stir on social media sites and even eliciting a Fatwa about snowmen.
The bulk of the snow hit a town near the northern city of Tabuk, according to the BBC.
Images appearing on the website Alriyadh.com, which often has excellent user-submitted photographs of events in the Kingdom, show Saudis enjoying the rare weather occurrence.
