Take nothing but litter, leave nothing but a cleaner Drakensberg.

I had my suspicions when I saw the weather report on TV last night even though they didnt mention snow, and when I heard a friend in KZN complain about the cold this morning....

So No.2 was mainly about Sani and Black Mountain area as this sat image shows. Very light dusting along the EC Berg near what looks like Ongeluksnek roughly and further down near Lehana's Pass.

A post from the Facebook Page SNOW REPORT SA
It is almost with total disbelief that we are writing this. After 2 recent snow falls that have come extremely early, it looks like there is another cold front on the way that may very well drop some more snow on us, way before the 'official snow season' has even started! It is very early to predict comfortably, but the Western Cape high peaks could get a light dusting during the early morning on Thursday 18th April 2013. From here, the cold front will move across the country fairly rapidly, and it is looking unlikely that it will not drop more snow until it reaches Lesotho on Friday afternoon. The indications at this early point are that snow will fall on the peaks of Lesotho and the Drakensburg from early afternoon on Friday, and possibly continue for about 24 hours, with potentially some good falls in places. It is still very early to predict accurately, so we will update later this week.

Would that be your Cathkin Mountain Pass to Leslie's mission?
