References, retitle?

[edit]

Odd weather events & storms often receive pages, this seems notable enough to stay but the title doesn't seem standard. Maybe move to something like "Saudi Arabian snowstorm 2016"? I also found some references for a more fleshed out article: http://indianexpress.com/article/world/world-news/saudi-arabia-desert-kingdom-partially-covered-under-snow-with-extreme-temperature-drop-4402712/ ; https://www.rt.com/viral/368505-saudi-arabia-desert-snow/ ; http://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/frozen-deserts-shock-saudi-arabia-as-3-cold-snap-brings-blankets-of-snow/news-story/07dc0fdd561cdc45292c6154416f104d JamesG5 (talk) 08:04, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Clarifying note, I suggest the date rather than just "snowfall in Saudi Arabia" since the articles note this happened in January of last year as well, so the incidents should be differentiated. JamesG5 (talk) 08:06, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

---FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE

Those news reported are FAKE. There was a hailstorm between Makkah and jeddah not a snowstorm, the temperature was well above 20C and not even in the highest central peaks snow has ever fallen below the tropics except for January 1964. This article is a total shame ! unacepptable that wikipedia copied compltely wrong information.
