Weather has been really chilly the past couple of days here in Cape Town and this morning while driving to work I recorded a mere 5 degrees from the car thermometer.

Local weather forecasters yesterday predicted snow on Table Mountain and when I spotted these pics I just had to share it. The pics clearly shows some snow on Table Mountain, although its not much and you can’t see it from the bottom it sure as hell is there and I can feel it in the temperature.

Photos taken from StressKitten on Twitter.

There are also reports that the mountains near Paarl and Wellington is covered in snow, if you got some pics why not send them in and I will gladly post them.

So by now a whole lot of Capetonians made plans to head out to Ceres this weekend to go watch and play around in some snow on Matroosberg.

If you are interested in seeing what it currently looks like up there, the people of Matroosberg nature reserve has set up webcams, you can have a look at the images here. It contains images of photos taken by the webcams on Matroosberg. Images are updated frequently so check back often to see if its worth going up to Matroosberg in Ceres.

A friendly reminder to people heading to Matroosberg, Ceres please keep it calm on the roads. Do not drive fast as roads are slippery and be aware of pedestrians alongside the roads. There will be long queues up to the mountain as allot of Capetonians are heading up to go have some fun in the snow.

See you there, and watch out for the snowballs.

Heavy rain, extreme cold tempratures and strong winds have been forecast for the Western Cape.

Sutherland, Ceres and almost all of the Boland mountains would get snow today or Wednesday, along with freezing cold conditions.

The weather is expected to lift by the weekend.

City disaster management is on high alert following warnings of very cold conditions, snow, rough seas, gale-force winds and heavy rains.

Showers in excess of 50mm is expected to fall across the province today and tomorrow. This rain will be acompanied by gale force winds of up to 85km/h, snow on mountains and waves higher than 7 meters.

People are urged to stay away from areas such as promonade, Cape Point, Atlantic Seaboard, Strand, Gordens Bay and the False Bay coastline.

People living across or near beaches need to be prepared for storm surge impacts.

Looks like we have a hell of a week ahead of us to keep safe people.

It looks like a gray week is lying ahead for us Capetonians with 2 cold fronts on their way. Snowfalls are expected on the western high ground on Tuesday night, persisting on Wednesday. Also very rough seas with a total wave height in excess of 6-7m is expected with rain througout the week. So better get those winter warmers out for this week.
