Our cars in North Dorset were covered in the stuff, but our friends about 10 miles away didn't get any.

I blame the recent warm weather, giving us Southerly winds.
Looking at the deposits, I think it was a mixture of volcanic ash and sand, here.

I reckon the culprits are Mount Etna and sand storms in the Sahara.
Mount Etna's recent activity has discharged some 40 million cubic metres of volcanic material, which is the most in recent years and more than twice of the eruptions in 1981.

As Italy is a member of the EU, I think that the EU should take the blame for this.
