If you look closely at the photo above, you will see spots in the sky... believe it or not, those spots are snowflakes! Yes, it is a rare sight in Erbil. Apparently, there was a day where it snowed in January or February in 2008; however, although I was here at the time, it seems I blinked and missed it. This time, a friend called and we hopped in a taxi to go take photos of snow at the citadel (there was a faint hope that the ground up there was colder and the snow might actually not have melted on contact). Unfortunately, the snow stopped before we reached the citadel and we ended up just asking the driver to turn round and take us back home.

My husband & I will be moving to Erbil in a few weeks. Please ensure that that is no reoccurrence of snowflakes dropping however-so-prettily from the sky.
Many thanks!
You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it
