Snow in Plett

The drought has finally been broken with some very strong winds and driving rain over the past week. A fair amount of damage was done with trees uprooted and signs destroyed, but fortunately nothing too serious. Big seas have been running and waves have again come over the Bird Island sand spit separating the Keurbooms Estuary from the Bay. But the best news of all is that the Tsitsikammas and Outeniquas are covered in snow! The falls have far exceeded that of the previous three years and we are all waiting for the clouds to lift so that some spectacular pictures can be taken. There is simply nothing more beautiful than our beautiful Bay being surrounded by a ring of snow!
