It snowed in Johannesburg

August 8, 2012

So yesterday it snowed real life snow in Johannesburg and we all went stir-crazy. I know to some of you this might sound a bit lame because you get snow every year where you live, but here we don’t. Not at all. In fact the last time it snowed I was about 3 years old and looking very stylish in my white snow jacket. See picture below.

So when it started falling yesterday we all headed out to stand in it like real tourists. It was amazing.

We even made it onto the front page of Media24. Fun times.

 This weather has really made my feet happy because I’ve been able to wear these super soft and warm knitted slipper-socks from Woolies. They have little track pads on the bottom and everything so you don’t find yourself slipping all over the place. If it was acceptable and practical to wear just socks outside of the house, I think I would. In fact I don’t think, I know.

    As luck or something would have it, I was in the Kruger park on that day! But I saw a white impala, so I didn’t feel so sad about missing the snow!
