Nature has decided to bless us with a day of magic and uplift our heart so that we can retrieve for solace when the weather takes a bitter twist.
There’s snowfall in the desert mountain; yes in our very own Emirates.
This is the second snowfall; the first was in the year 2004. It sounds strange but strange has so much a part of the natural that in a time like this, it’s rather befitting and bedazzling. Read on and partake of this blessing.
The Saturday ( 24th Jan’09) paper stated that an extreme cold spell had brought the temperature on top of Jabel Jais Mountain to as low as -3 degrees Celsius with snow extending to an area over 5 km. The Jais Mountain in Ras al Khaimah situated at a height of 5, 700 feet was angelic and chaste in that white fluffy attire.
Snowfall is reported to have started at around 3pm and lasted till midnight. It was as thick as 10 cm. Imagine the thrill that we desert folks experienced at that moment; just a look at the photographs and TV coverage was enough to sooth our razing hearts .Let’s hope Nature or God of Nature continues to be merciful on us, burning souls.
We deserve a little bit of pampering too.
