Morning All

Just thought I would let you know that it has snowed in Johannesburg, South Africa for the first time since 1981!!! I took a few photos of the 3 Series covered in snow...

I will put more up if you want to see more ...

I've never heard the kids sing "rain  rain  go away......." so much!

AND I bet there will still be a water shortage because all the reservoirs leak as do most of the flippin pipes in this country!

Anyway Beemerboy, where's the snowman??

Unfortunately had to go to work in the morning, so there was no time ! Back in 1981 when it snowed, the whole of Johannesburg stopped...we all just sat and played in the snow...no such luck now...

The kids are on school holiday now so I think it was pertty fun for them!
