​​While everybody in Stellenbosch are gripped in winter's icy stranglehold, the picturesque snow-covered mountain peaks are taking centre-stage, judging by all the photos popping up on websites and social networking sites. And all this just two days before Spring.

Snow also fell on Table Mountain, the Helderberg mountains near Somerset West and in the Springbok area.

According to the South African Weather Service, more snow and bitter cold can be expected over the weekend. On Friday the mercury dropped to 8 ˚ C in Stellenbosch and temperature prospects for the weekend look equally bleak with an expected maximum temperature of 12 ˚ C.
