Description
The last time that snow fell in Pretoria was in 1960. In the 22 years that I am in Pretoria now I never saw snow.Yesterday it happened and I took a few captures. Unfortunately the temperature of the ground was just to hot and as soon as the snow reached the ground it melted. This is a view from where i parked along side the road through the windscreen looking towards Servaas str. One can see the falling snow.What a happening to experience.Here is a link to more snow pictures of the occurrence here in South Africa http://www.news24.com/Multimedia/MyNews24/Snow-in-Joburg-20120807. Blessed day and week. God Bless.

I don't knows if you are happy to have it . But that give you a real souvenir . But better to come in Canada Quebec to have snow time ((5++))
This is a cool shot.
Very well done. I love it. 5+!
A great shot of this unusual occurance.
You can see that it's quite a fall in zoom. It must be quite exciting for you!
Well, what a surprise!
fantastic !
Not only is it wonderful to see snow flakes falling there, but I have a good sense of the overall landscape - much hillier and wooded than I had thought. Great shot.
Very cool and interesting event
Very interesting capture. Once in a lifetime event, probably.
And always the thought lingers...is this because of climate change?
