Snow in Johannesburg South Africa
Ok I missed posting last night. I was busy with it but the coolest thing distracted me. It started snowing 
Ok, Ok, you guys are wondering why I am so excited. I guess that means that you don’t get it. There was snow in Johannesburg, South Africa. It doesn’t snow in Johannesburg, The last time we were blessed with the white stuff was around 1985.
Man what a pleasure to wake up with snow on the ground, take an extra 15 minutes to scrape the snow off the windscreen of my car with a spatula (We don’t have things like ice scrapers here in South Africa because, well it doesn’t snow ) .
What fun to be outside at midnight, enjoying the snow falling on your shoulders. I took some photos but haven’t downloaded them off the camera yet. I will upload them as soon as I do.
Well I am at work now so won’t spend too much more time, but for your viewing pleasure I found a video on You Tube that someone recorded of last night’s events.

And in the news we see Johannesburg hasn’t had a real snow fall since September 1981, and in Pretoria it was June 11 1968 before last night.
