Snow in Ceres area

Post by swifty »

A friend just phoned me from Theronsberg Pass just outside Ceres and reported a blanket of snow on the pass. Matroosberg 4x4 should also be covered in snow.

Lourens unfortunately about 50% of Cape Town's population descends on Ceres and close surrounds over the weekend as soon as there is a snow alert... much to the horror of some local farmers. Besides checking out the snow in pics or on TV, it may worth taking a day off work and go in the week... and avoiding that mad rush... even Matroosberg gets overrun at times!
