Snow on Table Mountain this year?

Cape Town locals and visitors have been given a rare treat this week with a good dose of snow seen on Table Mountain, resulting in much excitement and glee.
Being in the warmer southern hemisphere, snow in Cape Town is not as common as it is in colder parts of the world. The closest that we get to being able to make snow angels and the like is during extremely cold winters, when snow covers parts of mountain ranges such as Table Mountain and the Helderberg.
Now that spring is getting ready to make its return however, the weather has been reaching record lows throughout the Western Cape. This means getting the chance to see our beloved mountain dusted in snow.
For some brave locals and visitors however, it also means a chance to enjoy the freezing white snow up close and personal!
