Snow?

We had our first snowfall last night on the Drakensberg Mountains.  Snow on the 17th of April?  It is still summer here!  We can't see the snow from here as we are away from the mountains. The snow was visible from the village early this morning but the clouds have come down and blanketed the mountains.  I think we are in for a long, cold and wet winter.  The fire is almost ready for this evening and we'll just sit in the lounge and watch TV in front of the fire.
