The UAE was one of a number of Middle Eastern countries to bare the brunt of a freak weather phenomenon yesterday.

A shock snowstorm blasted through the Arab country, usually known for its blistering heat, scorched deserts and year-round sunshine.

The blizzard covered parts of the country with up to 10 centimetres of snow, according to the local Met Office.

Other Gulf States also experienced rare lightning strikes, sandstorms, rough seas and high winds of up to 90km an hour.

Somewhere I read that if you say bad things about or do bad things to Israel, then bad things will happen to you.

For a culture that puts a lot on symbolism, I'd be pretty freaked out right about now.

Trump tells me to stick it and I wake up to SNOW ?

Save me Jesus, my parents are wrong and I ask for your forgiveness.

“to bare the brunt”

This must be the 3rd time I’ve seen this error this week - but this time, in a “publication” as it were.

BEAR the brunt, morons!

As for the snow and other oddities - I hope it’s true. Maybe God’s wrath is beginning to show and it’s not just for those of us who betrayed Him?

President Trump has Friends is very high places. Maybe Allah likes Trump? Maybe he is sending a message to his people to cool things down.

Looks like Trump has located and fired up the old Dick Cheney / Donald Rumsfeld Secret Weather, Earthquake, Volcano and Solar Flare Machine.

They better look out now cause the can of whoop-ass has just been opened.

Another sort o fake news story. I spent many years working in the middle east. I was in Libya in the 70s when we had snow at midnight and 110F at noon the next day.
