...when hell freezes over

Hey there,

maybe you know the idiom "until hell freezes over". Hell, a rather mythological and hence non-existent place, can be a rather ridiculous topic to research since it simply does not exist, "it's all in your miiind!". But well, in the traditions around here it has mostly been described by whoever made it up as a hot place.
Having lived in the desert for a while i was quite reminded of that old idiom when i read the news yesterday: snow on the gulf!
See here or here .
A mountain in UAE, quite a rare thing as such, and covered in snow. And then it's so remote that it can only be reached by helicopter. And so the only people able to enjoy real snow there are some rich bastards. All the rest might get a chance in Ski Dubai but after growing up in Austria i find the idea of indoor skiing kind of pervert. Well, well, those are strange times...

Ballsaison!

Cheers
