Snow Blanketed Northern Africa

3/9/2008 6:05 AM

Heavy snow crippled parts of northern Algeria and interior Tunisia earlier this week. According to local Algerian media, snowfall of up to 20 inches (50 cm) blocked 18 national roads and isolated seven provinces. The bulk of the snow fell on north-facing slopes of the Atlas Mountains as well as the foothills just to the north. While snow mixed with rain along the coast in the capital of Algiers, temperatures were just warm enough at the surface to prevent significant accumulations of snow.
