Raknah is a popular spot among residents — especially during winter when snow and hail would blanket its desert slopes.
During the chilly season, Raknah is often the coldest spot where temperatures could drop to a freezing 0°C or even lower.
There was a time when groups of friends would drove to the area to play with snow, hailstones, and ice. Some would light a bonfire and just hang out while all covered up in their thickest jackets and trench coats.
Will Raknah hit sub-zero again? We'll have to wait until the winter season peaks around January.
