PICTURES: Heavy snow hits Ceres in the Western Cape
Parts of the Western Cape are experiencing heavy rain and even snow.
It is not often that South Africans get to see, touch, feel or experience snowy sights. So when some snow falls, people tend to rush off to see it.
Parts of the Western Cape are experiencing an intense cold front, which has brought strong gale-force winds, heavy rain, very cold conditions, and rough seas.
