Update on the weather

The entire country is in the grip of the most amazing weather system.


* Wild weather in PE, rained and gusted all night
* Snow blanketing many Karoo mountains
* Still 0 in Bloem at 8.30
* Hit -6 in Linbro Park last night: will be extremely cold today, still, and barely warmer overnight: 1 and 12
* Scarcely above 0 now
* Nelspruit, in the normally warm Lowveld, reports around 0 right now


And quote of the day from Sutherland, where it reached a high of 6, and did not stop raining yesterday: "My koelkamer het warmer gevoel as wat dit buite was. As dit so koud bly, kan ons maar die koelkamer afskakel." - Nico du Plessis, owner of Marrow Meats in Sutherland.
