The lowest temperature recorded in Cairo this recent cold spell was 5.0C so whatever that report is referring to is not snow in Cairo. There have been showers and thunderstorms along the coastal strip so maybe it was hail but definitely not snow.

I would agree with hail for this image and some of the other Cairo pics in the link but definitely no getting away from the fact that there were large quantities of real snow in unusual locations.

It looks like they may continue to see the unusal cold continue through to Christmas. The modelling is a couple of days behind but not much change in the pattern foreseen.
