Ya, was storming pretty heavily since last night.

 

[satanboy]

Nothing here...it's not even raining.

 

[mercurial]

Seems to have calmed down but it's getting really dark again.

Another cold front hits tomorrow afternoon. Rain by evening.

 

[mercurial]

It's freezing cold. Can't wait to get home and turn on the heater.

It's not that bad.
I grew up where it was 40 degrees most days and winter never needed more than a light jersey.
A lot further south, the winters in Salisbury and Bulawayo were much more extreme.

Yeah, most Capetonians are pansies when it comes to winter. Go to the highveld and feel how cold it gets at night!

Goosebumps big enough for bras!

It's a different type of cold though. Give me a cold winter Free State day anyday. Cape Town is just a miserable cold.

you are so right about that.

a 5degree drop in temperature, and life comes to a standstill

I'm sure there are many colder places but us sissies over here don't like the cold

 

[Garson007]

I love winter. So sad it's almost over.

Really?

Have you experienced that bitter cold?
