    Default Snow in Tunis

    Does it ever snow in Tunis?

    In my campaign I had snow in it, and I can't imagine it snowing that close to the equator.

    Also anyone notice there is a city in Tunis named Tattooine except spelled slightly different. (The Star Wars scenes were filmed in that region)

    Also in Pensylvania they have a town name Scranton (The Office), and also in another US region they have Springfield

    I know there is a dozen springfields in america, and I wouldn't be surprised if tatoine was in Tunis. But yes, probably is a sense of humor going.

    I'm sure Scranton and Springfield are real places.

    And eight seconds of Google confirms Tataouine is real too.

    Scranton's a major city in Pennsylvania. Got talked about a lot by Democrat candidates during the US 2008 election for some weird reason.
    Spingfield's the capital city of Illinois.

    yup, in France when a place is far and in the middle of nowhere, we say it's in "tataouine les bains"... Funny to know that it's in Tunisia...

    They have the Office town for the crappy rip-off American version, but not Slough for the proper original version .

    Well..you call it Tunisia because you know you are there..but seriously. Buildings in North Africa are the same you see in any other battle on mainland europe.

    Yeah..Tattooine in the game is in the same spot that the Star Wars filming area. They still have the movie props there as touristic attraction.

    Of course..that makes it a terrible choice of course as Tattooine is a mere village while there are real cities all around it.

    No, its definitely correct. I live in Massachusetts and there is absolutely a Springfield here. In fact, its relatively famous as the birthplace of Basketball.

    Also:

    During the 1770s, George Washington selected Springfield as the site of the National Armory. By the 1780s the Arsenal was a major ammunition and weapons depot. In 1787 poor farmers from western Massachusetts, led by Daniel Shays, tried to seize the arms at Springfield. This came to be known as Shays's Rebellion, and was a key event leading to the Federal Constitutional Convention. Those involved in the rebellion planned to use the weapons to force the closure of the Commonwealth and county courts, which were seizing their lands for debt.
    The term Springfield Rifle may refer to any sort of arms produced by the Springfield Armory for the United States armed forces.

    I had it snowing when I was in Morocco in winter. Although there are the Atlas mountains over there which do stretch to Tunisia.

    As for snow in Trinidad, I don't think that has an explanation.
