First Snow For 100 Years Falls On Baghdad

I am not surprised. The thousands of tons of ammunition used in Iraq (including depleted uranium but that's another story) has likely messed up the weather and decreased the oxygen content so such that one cannot speak of "normal". Remember also that before the exploitation of oil, there was no pollution from that source.

Oh heck! It's the righteous right behind Dubya trying to convert those Muyslims to Christianity...............they WERE trying for Chritstmas, and like so much of their efforts in that country, didn't quite get it right.
