Ain Safra, where the photo is from is at 1080 m and 32°N. The Sonoran desert in northern Mexico and the southwest US at high enough elevation can get snow very rarely as well. Ain Safra has a January mean of 12/0, but I assume most cold nights are dry. Well it's almost always dry there… Here's where snow was that evening  there was an upper low centered around Spain. Those usually bring gloomy, cooler than average weather and light showers; if we get that in the spring, it bring cold daytimes highs but not that extremely cool nights. I'd guess sea level in the Mediterranean wasn't too cold. Interior Spain must have cold just from being even higher up than that Sahara spot and in the center of that upper level low, checking that map, some spots in Spain were in the 20s °F that evening. That Sahara spot was in the low to mid 30s. 850 hPa temperatures, another 400 or so meters up but with upper level low the lapse rate wasn't that step  Atlantic-wide image of the pattern |
