Apparently, even the Sahara desert gets snow once in a while.

Nice picture!
I haven´t seen this before. Guess, this was inevitable.
Maybe reason of snowfall is due to climate change!

How high is that place then? I wouldn't ne surprised to see snow-covered mountains on the equator, if they were high enough.
Someone pointed out in the comments that there is even a ski resort in Algeria:

Why does it snow everywhere except where I live?
Seriously though, is it because of global warming? If it has happened 40 years before, then it needn't be unnatural.

I'd love to have seen the children's reactions to it.

I had the opposite reaction, glad that something that is seemingly contradictory actually can happen. I wonder if the inverse could happen, a small desert in the middle of North or South Pole. That too would probably make me smile.

It's only fair, parts of Europe regularly get some Sahara sand on its snow ;-P

Global warming? It's a desert. They often sit at both extremes of temperature. They often fall below freezing during the colder months. It's just that the colder months rarely see any sort of precipitation. When water falls from the sky during the cold months it would usually fall as snow. There isn't snow because it's colder than it should be but because it's wetter than it should be.

Wiki says: " In den Wintermonaten kann die Temperatur nachts bis auf −10 °C sinken, kurzzeitig Bodenfrost auftreten und in Höhenlagen auch Schnee fallen."
Translation: "During the winter months, temperature can sink to -10° C, short-termed ground frost appears, and in high altitudes also snow falls."
