2014 was the Coldest Winter on Record in parts of SA

Per the South African Weather Service the winter of 2014 was the coldest on record for many parts of South Africa. From experience, the odd winter got snow on the Drakensberg as well as other isolated spots around the country too but NEVER before has the whole country engulfed in ice and snow at the same time!

The flip side is that this icy cold weather brings with it some beauty to behold in its wake. These photographs highlight that beauty.
