Deep snow reportedly isolated villages, forcing authorities to airdrop supplies to the snowbound residents.

Cold air associated with a storm system currently moving into the region from the north is providing for some decent accumulations of snow in the north African country.
According to Accuweather Meteorologist Eric Wanenchak, most reports say the last time Algiers saw this kind of accumulation was at least seven years ago in 2005.
