Residents of Jabal Al Akhdar, or Green Mountain, and its regional capital, Al Bayda, woke to snowfall on Tuesday, an occurrence that was once a rarity but has been increasing during winter. “Once we saw the snow blanketing Bayda city, we joined the many other families in the streets and forests to play with snowballs and take pictures of the whiteness." Walid Al Orfali travelled 1,200 kilometres from the capital Tripoli with his friends to camp in the forests of Jabal Al Akhdar. “It may snow in western cities, even in Tripoli, but the snow quickly melts and is gone within hours," Mr Al Orfali said. We came to camp for a few days in Seedi Al Hamari and enjoyed the snow all through."
