[MoroccoWorldNews] After several decades of extremely dry weather, residents in southern regions of Morocco finally woke up this morning to an unusual snowfall that currently impacted Ouarzazate, Taroudant and even Zagora, which has not experienced snowfall for fifty years.
Lots of videos at the link.
fyi - Zagora, Morocco is at about 30N latitude which is about the same as New Orleans or Houston -- the difference is that Morocco has the Atlantic Ocean to their west and the prevailing winds are from that direction so getting snow requires a long fetch of winds from the north over several days plus some upper air support |
