First time ever: Snow in all 9 provinces 2012-08-08 09:10

Johannesburg - It is probably the first time ever that snow has fallen in all nine of South Africa’s provinces on the same day.

Kenosi Machepa from the SA Weather Service said this when referring to the vast cold front that brought snow to Pretoria for the first time since the late 1960s, reported Beeld (http://www.dieburger.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Sneeu-val-in-al-9-provinsies-20120808).

In the Western Cape, snow fell on mountains in the Boland as well as in towns like Richmond and Touws River while snow was lying thick on the Matroosberg in Ceres.

In Johannesburg, snow was lying up to 20cm deep in some areas while Golden Gate in the Free State got the most snow in six years.

In Bethlehem, snow was up to 70cm deep and schools were closed due to the weather. There was also snow in Mpumalanga and Limpopo while light snow fell in the North West.

The weather office said the cold would continue for another day or two.

I am/was here for it,

lovely sight,

lots of snow

quite an event down here, no one is used to this much snow, etc

btw,

no chemtrails in africa

btw,

no chemtrails in africa

Think there's some reverse force event taking place?

The more they spray in the Northern hemisphere, the larger Antarctica grows...

pretty soon the ice will reach you there in (tropical) South Africa...

I have my doubts on that personally, There was a big dormant volcano that erupted near new zealand, a few days before this event, south africa and new zealand, southern hemisphere, a few days for the ash cloud to move over here to africa, drop the temp a few degrees....

wonder if chemtrails are helping to propagate the vitamin D deficiency, lower immune functions, shorten life span.

Look up George Ellis while you are down there!

Aren't you just below the Tropic of Capricorn,

Thought it was warmer there?

hmmmm yes, I am around 28 south lat.

quite toasty here, monkeys, papayas, lemon, lime

the snow was 45 minutes from here, which is unheard of

it was 93 degrees here yest, middle of winter

[Horn]

They got some snow here in Costa up around the 3k ft. level a few years back, was more or less a dusting that melted at sunrise.

Your in the valley I suppose,

Its been a very cold winter here in OZ without let up

Height of Antarctica ice sheet increasing

Saturday, March (http://en.mercopress.com/2012/03) 31st (http://en.mercopress.com/2012/03/31) 2012 (http://en.mercopress.com/2012) - 23:40 UTC

According to findings come from the Europe’s Space Administration ESA’s ice-measuring satellite, CryoSat, over the last two years Antarctica’s ice sheet has increased in height.

In a press release ESA announced that the measurements from their 2010-2011 campaigns show the height of Antarctic ice to be an average of nine centimetres higher than the measurements obtained during the 2008-2009 campaigns.

ESA says these findings not only provide good news from the ice sheets, but also show the effectiveness of the CryoSat missions.
CryoSat is an ESA programme to monitor variations in the extent and thickness of polar ice through use of a satellite in a low Earth orbit. The information provided about the behaviour of coastal glaciers that drain thinning ice sheets will be essential to better predictions of future sea-level rise.
According to the ESA website, http://www.esa.int, CryoSat is the first scientific mission to address the thickness of land and sea ice and how this thickness is changing.
CryoSat took its measurements from a particularly harsh area of land in Antarctica, a plateau known as the “blue ice region” on the edge of the continent. This region is unique due to its vast expanses of polished blue ice.

Sea level will not rise due to pole melting, just like an ice cube dont make the level of your drink any fuller.

Wouldn't know about this as my drink seems to disapear before the ice melts for some reason,hehe

OZ just brought in global warming tax and now it's cooling.......idiots
