In 2009, a man on trial in San Diego brought a bag of poop into the courtroom, smeared feces on his lawyer and then threw the remainder of the poop at the jury. He was charged with robbery and two counts of assault by poop and was sentenced to 31 years in prison.

Deserts are known to have very low precipitation. And if rainfall is rare, wouldn’t snowfall be even rarer? Well, the impossible happened in 2018 and the Sahara Desert was covered in a blanket of white snow. However, the snow only lasted for a day before melting under the hot sun.

The first recorded snowfall was in 1979 — a snowstorm that lasted half an hour. Although temperatures drop to freezing in the night, the lack of moisture makes it almost impossible to produce any snow. But who knows, you might be lucky enough to see it on your next trip to the Sahara!
