    i experienced red snow once. it was in the alps, and it was very odd to look at. apparently it was saharan sand. red rain has happenend a few times in the uk as far as i know, again courtesy of the sahara and a southerly wind

    This youtube clip shows everything turn pitch black with onset of dust storm in Broken Hill in the west of New South Wales state, quite a scary experience I imagine:
