La neige est orangée par le sable, apporter par le Sirocco !
EXPLICATIONS
Le sirocco se produit lorsqu'une masse d'air tropicale et stationnaire installée sur le Sahara se trouve entre une zone anticyclonique à la verticale de la ligne du tropique du Cancer et une soudaine zone de forte dépression se creusant rapidement au-dessus de la mer Méditerranée.

Ce phénomène est plus courant au printemps et à l'automne. Ses vents peuvent atteindre 100 km/h, particulièrement en mars et novembre lors des pics de formation de dépressions dans la Méditerranée.
