Snowie East

Several towns in the Eastern Cape were covered in snow. The snow hit Queenstown and other neighbouring towns.

Others, mostly children were excited about the snow. They played outside making the snow man. It was indeed a wonderful experience.

Others were not thrilled by the precipitation. It caused road closures in the area. Many businesses came to a stand still. It was very difficult to travel around those areas.

It was not only the businesses suffering but the community as a whole. People living in very rural areas had no water supply as the tap water was frozen. Livestock on the other hand had no grass to eat.

Although the snow did not fall for long the people really felt its effects. It was up to each individual to choose whether to enjoy the experience or not.
