Here is the latest available map showing total accumulation. Most snow will be falling tonight and in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

I'm afraid it doesnt look too good for the guys hoping for some snow in the Northern Berg at this stage.

Snow report SA received some reports of some snow falling last night in Mooi River, Balgowan, Curries Post, Boston. Very light though from what I can tell.

So far the only places that seemed to accumulate a thin ground covering are

1) Between Mooi River and Estcourt on R103 (Road reaches 1600m elevation at one point)
2) At Kamberg (1700m)
3) High lying ground near Boston

Im sure this will melt extremely quickly.

Not the greatest image quality, but this is the only 8am satellite image available. The 2 patches of snow are visible in the KZN Midlands

Witsieshoek on FB:

Got the bite... but not the white. It was (brrr) minus 4 degrees when we woke this morning, but no snow in sight. The skies are clear and it's going to be a crisp, clear day and perfect for hiking.
