Our mission to climb the Column did not go according to plan. However we got to look at her for a few minutes.

We will be back soon

Well Sunday night was snowfall number 12 for the year, so we have equalled the total number of 2012 snow events, with still a good way to go!

So yr.no seems to have removed their forecast for snow on Friday and substantially reduced their forecast for Sunday. Seems like we raced to 9 snowfalls this year and just kind of stopped...

There have been 3 snowfalls in the last 3 months if I'm correct?

@Ghaz: There have been 6 after 27 May, although not too many impressive snowfalls

You can check the first post on page one which has a summary of all the snow events to date :thumbsup:

I was actually thinking a summary would have been useful, forgot about that. Thanks :thumbsup:

Remember back in May when there was still snow on top 2 weeks after the last snowfall. Strange how things turn out sometimes...

So it snowed on Table Mountain last night - there are some photos at www.climbing.co.za/2013/08/table-mountain-snow-pictures/

Looks like only the southern Berg is getting snow here though - perfect weather forecast for Giant's Castle tomorrow
