On Tuesday, folks in the Stavropol Region in Southern Russia found their countryside covered with purple-tinged snow!
Having analysed the samples, climatologists ruled that the snow is perfectly safe. However, eating purple snow is still not recommended as scientists say it is full of dust from Africa.
A massive dust cyclone rose to upper atmosphere layers and then mixed with regular snow clouds in Russia’s South.
This is not the first time the country has seen such a snow. Link -via Fortean Times
It’s easy to tell Pete the squirrel from all the other squirrels. He’s the purple one!
Teachers and pupils at Meoncross School in Stubbington, Hants, were amazed when they saw the creature through the window during a lesson.
Since the squirrel, now nicknamed Pete, was first seen, it has become a regular fixture at the school but no one has been able to say whether the animal has fallen into purple paint, had a run-in with some purple dye, or whether there is another explanation.
