Snow?!?!?

The morning I landed in Johannesburg it had snowed the night before!

The driver who picked me up at the airport was telling me about shoveling his driveway in the morning. I asked: "how much snow fell?"...by nine in the morning when I landed all of it was gone. "Nearly an inch" was the answer...and he shoveled it!!
The all thing is so new here I guess nobody really new what to do with it. Some people even managed to create car accidents because of it.
This is why, I guess, South Africans immigrating are going to Perth instead of Canada.
