Snow in Baghdad in January follows snow last July in Buenos Aires

not having ever visited baghdad, this story doesn't have quite the personal impact as last july's story of snow in buenos aires, but, nonetheless, it's still quite remarkable...
After weathering nearly five years of war, Baghdad residents thought they'd pretty much seen it all. But Friday morning, as muezzins were calling the faithful to prayer, the people here awoke to something certifiably new.

For the first time in memory, snow fell across Baghdad.
