The snow story

If memory serves me correctly, the last time it snowed in JHB, and specifically on the West rand was about 1982! I had boarded a plane to SWA for a 3 month stint with the SADF to go and protect my country from the Communist and terrorist forces that were threatening our democracy (sic)!

That night, after I left it snowed! So i didn't actually get to see it, other than some photos that were taken and sent to me!

Last night it snowed. It really snowed! There was an inch of snow on the table on the deck! We even managed to make a snow man (LuckyL and I) even though we made the body using a bucket to get some shape, and plonked a head on top! But, it's snow, and fun, and my hands nearly fell off!

For those of you up north to whom snow is no big deal, the photos may be a poor showing, but for us here in sunny SA, this is a big deal. And will be remembered, and spoken about for some time!

Enjoy! I know I did!

Ag so glad to hear you all had so much fun in the snow!

Even though we are in Europe for 6 years now, we never get tired of seeing the snow falling, so for the folks in SA it must have been a real treat!
I'm sure the kids must have had a full on rave! Too bad it doesn't last...the last time it snowed in Joburg it was quite a bit more, lay a bit thicker and lasted till the next day. i will never forget it.
