Fox Found Frozen After a Winter Storm in Saudi Arabia

January 12, 2015, Snow fell right across the Middle East last week as a powerful winter storm swept through the region, with snow falling as far south as northern Saudi Arabia.

Temperatures reached sub-zero in the desert surrounding area forcing the Bedouin shepherds, and their camels, to shelter inside their tents to protect them from the freezing temperatures and the snow storm.

It has snowed three years running in the region but this storm was seen as being particularly intense.

Two people were killed and several were injured due to road accidents caused by the snow and police closed main roads in the area.

What a thing to find, quite cool despite a shame

Just like "The Day After Tomorrow" Looks like it's instantly frozen

I find that so hard to imagine. Freezing to death so fast, you don't even have time to collapse. . . How does that even. . . .?

I get it. If the sudden temperature drop is fast enough, this happens. I've just never experienced anything like that.

They probably propped it up. I've seen pictures of desert animals done that way and a white tail here in Ohio. It was probably hit by a vehicle. Someone put it against someone's mailbox. I just happened to be in the area so idk the exact story lol

[Cancun78]

The desert animals were mummified but the deer I saw against the mailbox was frozen. I remember snow in the ground.

Probably fell in that water then got out and froze in place.
