It snowed for 30minutes in the Sahara on February 18 1979

The Sahara is the biggest desert in the world. The storm that included snowfall was reported to be the first (and only) snow to fall in the Sahara in living memory.
There are mountains in the Sahara however that receive snow un a more regular basis. In winter, temperatures drop low enough on the 3,003 meters (9,852 ft) Tahat summit, highest peak of the Ahaggar Mountains, to cause snow every third year; the inaccessible Tibesti Mountains are said to receive snow on peaks over 2,500 meters (8,202 ft) once in seven years.
