Snow and Ice

Living in South Africa and especially living in KZN meant that we did not often experience snow and ice although we did have some experience of it in Estcourt and when we were in Volksrust. However, this did not prepare us for what we were to experience here.

Since we arrived nearly 5 years ago, we have had snow and ice in our area every Winter and initially the people here said we must have brought it here because they did not usually have snow in this area.

We love it but it does have some drawbacks. I am not too happy to drive through snow and even less happy to drive after there has been ice on the roads so cabin fever is very real.

The environment is very beautiful and there is always home deliveries when the fridge is empty so the draw backs are forgotten and we enjoy the experience storing all the visual images in our memory banks for when we are back in SA and battling with the heat.
