anyone seen it?

Light snow fell over Sandton, north of Johannesburg, on Wednesday as a cold front gripped the country.

"We've got confirmed reports of light snowfalls in Sandton," said SA Weather Services forecaster Jacqueline Riet.

"There is snow in Westonaria, Carletonville and Soweto and Sandton."

Riet said the first reports from Carletonville, south-west of Johannesburg, came in about 8am. Reports from other areas came in from 9am.

'Occurs once every eight to 10 years'
"It's just very little, very isolated flakes here and there."

Employees around Morningside reported very light falls of snow at 10am.

"It was tiny little white flakes... this was definitely dry snow," said Ashish Singh, who lives in the area. Singh lived in Canada for six years, where it snows heavily.

I was in Randburg this mornin and saw it, went on for a while. Not really 4 ft deep kind of snow, but snow none the less.

if snow is wet-stuff-falling-from-the-sky-that-is-not-rain, then, yes, I saw it.
