It is winter down south of the equator, so snow there during their winter/our summer is not that rare.
Records are being broken on both ends of the extreme.
We broke a bunch of rainfall records in my area last year, yet I didn't start a thread about it.
We also broke a few records for cold and snow.
And by my research it has snowed at least 22 times in SA, I wouldn't call that rare.
Unusual, but not rare.
Wow, a whole 22 times in the history of the South Africa! So start a thread about your rainfall records and maybe someone will be interested enough to reply to your thread without being RUDE!
What qualifies something as being rare as opposed to unusual?
Thanks for this OP, amazing pics! S&F

When Rui Moca proposed to Monique Joubert two years ago, she jokingly told him they would marry when snow covered the ground in Johannesburg again, Beeld reported.
As time passed, their wedding arrangements evolved, and they began making arrangements for a wedding ceremony in April 2013.
On Tuesday morning, when snowflakes fell in Gauteng, Joubert's sister told Radio Jakaranda about her sister's promise.
The radio station's management leapt into action and organised a wedding dress, cake, minister and honeymoon within three hours.
Joubert's extended family then crowded into a studio at the radio station, and Moca's family, which is based in Portugal, listened to the ceremony on the internet.
