Every­day life has turned into some kind of crazy the last few days.

The way its tun­ing out, today is going to have to be as work­ing one… and I was hop­ing for a nice quiet week­end with a lit­tle break­fast in bed & some good coffee…

It’s snow­ing in Johan­nes­burg & Pre­to­ria and apart from the obvi­ous excite­ment, it stunned every­one. It is win­ter in SA, but snowflakes are a rare commodity.

It was absolutely freez­ing when we went to gym this morn­ing at 5:30 but never in a mil­lion years did we expect snow later in the day. It sent every­one rush­ing out­side and point­ing cam­eras to the sky. This is only my 3rd time, but some peo­ple in this coun­try have never seen snow. Peo­ple twirled and danced as snowflakes fell. By late after­noon rooftops were cov­ered and roads quite slip­pery, but noth­ing could put a damper on the excitement.

I’ll bet very lit­tle work got done!

The South African Weather Ser­vice says it has only snowed in Johan­nes­burg 22 other days in the last 103 years and the snow last fell here in June 2007.
