Saharan sand - bathtub tom

I was surprised to see my local roads seemingly white with dried salt as if gritted overnight. The car's covered too.
I presume it's this Saharan sand. Anyone else noticed this?

Saharan sand - Bill Payer

Not on the road, but I was in a meeting for a few hours down South yesterday and the car was quite sandy when I got back to it - can't recall being aware of it happening during the daytime before.

Saharan sand - Bobby

yip, car got covered in it on Tuesday in Glasgow. There was a short rain shower, couldnt have lasted longer than 5 mins. I was out in Transit van at the time and was conscious I had to use the skooshies to clear the windscreen after it stopped.

Got back to car park and all the cars had a fine layer of sand on them. Tried hosing it off last night but some still there. My last application of wax couldnt have been good enough!
