Snow

Whilst I wouldn't expect any sympathy from UK readers, it has been a bit chilly here recently. In fact, for the first time in living memory it snowed in the hills of the most northerly emirate, Ras Al Khaimah. Apparently the local dialect has no word for snow!

More amazingly, Ras Al Khaimah has plans to make Jebel Jais into an outdoor ski resort using some Australian technology that will allow you to ski in temperatures up to 35 degrees C.
