Sandstorm in Winthrop MA last night

[oceanAddict]

Hey there,

I went to pick up pizza last night and saw a few cars covered in what I first thought in the snow, then I was like, wait it could not be snow as the temperature too high. I parked my car around the corner and went to look closer. Then I realized - this is sand from the beach!!  I have no idea how owners would clean this up afterward but in those 2 mins I spent here I got sand everywhere - in my ears, eyes, mouth; my hood was blown off and I had a full head of sand, so when I get back home I had to take a shower

Sent video to local channels, they aired it last night and posted on FB; so here it is..

Sounds impressive. You didn’t post the link however…

We’re getting both right now. Sand and snow.
Massive dump of snow on the alps brought on by a supercharged wind out of the sahara. Which usually drops sand with the snow.

Cold air from the north meets massive dump of precipitation from the south. Looks like 6 ft of snow will fall in 1/2 a day.
