Yes it does snow in Iraq -- well, at least it did on January 11, 2008. However, people who live in Baghdad could not remember a previous day on which it had snowed. As a result, this was likely the first time. Accumulations ranged from one to several centimeters depending on where in the city you were that morning. Unfortunately, by late morning the snow had turned to rain. At least the citizens of Iraq had a chance to enjoy it while it lasted and many considered it an omen of peace.
