Snow Watch 2013

It would be interesting to see that table compared to total snow falls for the year.

There has definitely been more rain so far this year than in the past few years.

There is something of an explanation for this.
In the southern African winter the sequence of weather is governed by the passage of waves in the winds at a height of about 10km. The general name for these features is Rossby Waves. It turns out there is a preferred sequence of 6 days (so quasi-phase locked to the weekend) to the procession.
Here is the scientific paper that first unlocked this interesting characteristic:

The work was based on spectral analysis of surface pressure observations.

@ mnt-tiska: This is interesting! I've also picked up this pattern in surfing. Some years we have good waves in winter almost every weekend (flat in between) and some years these good days unfortunately fall in the week. As waves are also dependant on cold fronts, when there's snow in the berg, it almost always occurs during same time as a good groundswell. It's always a difficult choice to be meade, head for the mountains to play in the snow or head to J-bay for good swell.
