We have the same rumour that this is going to happen in Qatar. I checked Yahoo Weather for the extended forcasrt and it is no where near freezing. The weather will be in the low 50's minimum!

Hah.. stupud email scams.. I got one the other day that was apparently from someone in the ivory coast who inherited millions from his father but his step mother is hunting him down to kill him and take the money for herself... apparently the man was hiding in a refugee camp with his sister and he wants someone to be able to transfer to money to their account.. I mean who would fall for that shit?! lool
But seriously Bahrain freezing.... that is kinda weird, I dont think we're at that stage of scare mongering yet lol

:uh: F*CKING HELL! Okay.. I just thought it was a scam to get your account details! :O.. Damn, the lengths people go to in organised crime lol
Yeh I didn't say it was impossible now did I? :P... Freak weather patterns are hard to come by even nowadays but still snow in the Persian Gulf, be worth taking some pics ;)
