Snow Watch 2025

This is the official thread for Snow Watch 2025. Feel free to post pictures, information, questions and reports about the snow conditions in the Drakensberg for 2025. The idea is to keep track of the snowfalls, pool information about where the snow is for those that want to go see it, and simply to have a place to express the joy and experiences you may have had if you have witnessed the grandeur of the Dragon clothed in white. This also serves as a historical reference for years to come.

Thanks @JonWells for handling the Snow Watch threads! As a reminder to everyone who follows these, he also maintains a summary of the snowfall events for the year which is updated on the first post of each annual thread. Be sure to check it out.
 

Well as it stands, there seems to be a fair chance for the first snow of 2025 to fall over parts of the escarpment tomorrow and early Wednesday.

As is common for early season events, conditions are very touch and go for snow, with much of precipitation predicted to fall as rain, with some periods of snow possible, especially on the highest peaks.

 

The whole range did, Tugela falls this morning
