Orange Snow Hit Parts of Europe This Weekend

A rare phenomenon that occurs just once about every five years is turning the snow orange in eastern Europe.

The orange snow is a result of sand storms from the Sahara Desert mixing with rain and snow, according to the BBC.

People have taken to social media to post photos of the orange-tinted snow, which is falling in countries like Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Romania. Skiers posted photos of the colored snow at a resort near Sochi, Russia.
