Southern Russia overwhelmed with purple snow

The very morning following the widely celebrated Woman's Day - people in Southern Russia could not believe their eyes when they found purple snow piled on city streets.
Let's be real the snow is mixed with something man made this is not natural. "Climatologists have suggested the color could be due to a massive dust cyclone from Africa that mixed with snow clouds in the upper atmosphere." Do people actually buy that? This is just embarrassing if they do.
I agree, Mel! The "scientific" explanation makes absolutely no sense and, as has been the case lately (i.e. the Norway spiral, etc) it seems like they are just throwing any silly explanation out to the public in hopes that the sheep will accept it without question. I'm quite certain there have been dust storms in the past that have mixed with snow, but there has never been a report (at least none in the media) of purple snow resulting. Or perhaps the deserts of Africa are really covered in purple sand, and the golden/brown stuff we've seen on the telly for decades is only an illusion?
I'd never eat yellow snow, but I'd have to try the pink stuff

This is just embarrassing if they do. I don't know why they would give that explanation; any color of snow is possible. I read about this in elementary school 10 years ago, it's nothing new - bacteria in the snow can create the effect of pigmentation, and based on certain factors, it can be any color.
That's what happens when you enchant the clouds.
