You can get a better idea of what the sandstorm itself actually looks like from Claire in December, but when the second set hit in February, I was ready.

With an extra bonus of a drizzle, I think my umbrella was the cherry on this sundae. First years: take note when packing. - blogger of the month Maayan Melamed
