On the subject of snow in the desert I went on a trek to morocco, and there was snow, and that was part of the Sahara... Admittedly, it was the part where the sahara collided with the atlas mountains, but even so, there was snow low down,a nd it was warmer than an average british summer day on top of the mountains! We reached the top of Jebel Sirou.



perhaps a better example (look carefully around the 'building' in the middle):

As a young man back in the 70,s I recall dropping a friend off at the Algerian border in the Aures Mtns of Western Tunisia and there was a raging blizzard happening. Ended up camping at a beautiful cork forest just outside of Tabarka.
