Snow Flurries in a Tropical Climate? The Real 'Identity' of the Snow That Caused Severe Traffic Congestion

Is it winter already?

The road appears to be completely covered in pure white snow.

The white buildup even extends right onto the road where vehicles drive.

However, this place is Malaysia.

It makes you wonder how this much snow could accumulate in a hot and humid tropical climate year-round.

It turns out it wasn't actually snow.

Last month, detergent being carried by a truck spilled onto the road.

Residue from the detergent mixed with the sawdust that had been spread at the time, and when heavy rain fell recently, it reacted again, causing foam to blanket the road like snow.

In the end, one lane of the highway was closed, leading to severe traffic congestion.
