Snow in Johannesburg!!!
Just thought I'd let everyone know: IT'S SNOWING IN JOHANNESBURG!!!
Well, it's not REALLY snow, more like a light flurry, but this is momentous for us. We're all (sort of) praying for a reasonable snow fall. We had about 2ft of snow 25 years ago (10 September 1981) which lasted for about 5 hours. Marc |

Last weeks were "bloody hot" here in Holland with african style temperatures of 36 C. Now we have a comfortable 20C again but with lots and lots of rain. Still I would be glad to exchange our winters for South African winters anytime!!! :-) Regards, Hans ================================== Hans Martens Wildlife & Nature Photography http://www.wildpicture.com http://www.wildpicture.nl ================================== |

Sorry, there wasn't enough snow to actually collect on the ground. It
just all melted on contact. However, there has been heavy snowfall in the eastern Cape. I don't have photos though. There's a news story he http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servl...rnational/home Marc On Thu, 3 Aug 2006 09:09:51 +0200, "Hans Schoelink" wrote: Show us a photo of it! |

Reminds me of exactly ten years ago this month, when I did my safari guide - field guide training in ZA. We started with a three day hike trough the Drakenbergen on the border of South Africa and Lesotho. And there was LOTS of snow. Specially the second day at around 3000m we had to walk through more than knee deep snow all day long (with heavy backpacks). We slept outside without tents under a cliff with the sleeping bags in the snow. Temps were -10C. It was a very though and dangerous hike and didn't feel like Africa at all........

We're all (sort of) praying for a reasonable snow fall. Amazing! Here in the lowveld we had 3 days of storm, and were nearly sandblasted. But the last 2 days beautiful winterweather: 24 and no clouds at all. Bushregards, Corné. www.amukela.com |
