Hell Freezes Over

well, not really Hell... but it's snowing in Saudi Arabia

Uh Oh; football fans make snowmen wearing team colours. And the fatwas are proclaimed:

But while the building of snowmen may seem innocent enough, Saudis who took part in the activity during a freak snowfall in January 2015 were condemned by a cleric who called it sinful and "anti-Islamic." He issued a fatwa (religious ruling) forbidding the activity - though clearly his opinion is not shared by everyone in the country.
