It's 30C here right now, cooler than the 35C it's been hitting, and we get snow regularly... You act like it's a big deal or something... :)

I didn't know snow was so unusual in JHB. I know Drakensberg gets a ton doesn't it? I didn't think snow was unusual in South Africa; but I guess it is in JHB.
