Parts of KwaZulu-Natal were transformed into a "winter wonderland" after snowfalls blanketed several areas of the province. Temperatures plummeted into the low teens, with residents of Kokstad and Giants Castle waking up to 0C. Durban experienced its coldest September night in recorded history on Friday night. Snowfalls were reported in Kokstad, Matatiele, Underberg, Mooi River, Bulwer, Himeville and Nottingham Road. Several roads in the province were closed and people were advised not to go snow hunting, as they risked becoming stuck in traffic and not being able to keep themselves warm. |

#3 Tomorrow or the next day, NASA is expected to announce that the sun is nearly spot free. This means more snow in places where it is seldom seen. Global warming may need to take a back seat to serious global cooling. Stay tuned for further details as they unfold. |

#2 "Several roads in the province were closed... risked becoming stuck in traffic ..." Seems that Chaining up is not something taught in Driver's ed over there. Of course it would take some time to chain up an elephant...... |
