the Atacama desert is one of the driest places on earth had one of the heaviest snowfall in over two decades and it got at least 31.5 inches of snow and 36 people got trapped in the snow but got rescued. officals said that they haden't seen that much snow in 20 years.

if you can't see the video it's just showing snow and people talking. this may be part of a climate change because it's very rare for heavy snow to fall on a dry desert.

"Traped", as in: trodden into. Or did you mean trapped? lol

I remember going to Disneyworld in Florida about 20 years ago and it snowed for the first time there in about 100 years.

Bleedin' great...not a queue to be found so we had the run of the place, there and Epcot too. Being a Brit we were used to freezing our asses off.

brrrrr!

2011 has presented the world with a wild weather ride. I do believe something has gone a muck in our weather patterns. I live in SLC, Utah. Spring didn't arrive until June. On the 4th of July, one could still ski at a ski resort. Very odd patterns. Not sure what it all means.
