MSBWX National Severe Weather Observations: Snow in Summer. Yes indeed. Snow fell the day before yesterday on the Southern Drakensberg. SnowReport SA provided pictures of the rare and unusual weather phenomena for this time of the year.
SnowReport SA writes: We had many predictions as to when the first snow of the 2015 season would
fall, none I'm sure guessed it would be February. The KZN Drakensberg has had a
unseasonable blanket of snow cover the Southern Berg in the Bushman's Nek
region. Very light and transient but fantastic nonetheless!. The image below is
