Forum member, Mike Voden submitted these snaps today. Taken at 14hoo from in front of his house in Gordon's Bay, looking towards the Hottentot Hollands mountains of the Helderberg...... the snow has arrived in the Cape!

Nice pics, but it strikes me the name Helderberg is now a bit of a misnomer.

My brother Shawn just travelled down from Pretoria and has photo's of snow on the side of the road near Touwsrivier and I don't mean a few blobs.

I never had my camera with me, but this morning, when I drove Cameron to Creche, I noticed a lot of the lawn down by those single accommodation units near the abattoir had a layer of ice/frost over them, at first glance I thought it was snow....
