Snow in Joburg is a big deal, but dry taps are too.
Residents come out to see and play in the snow, July 10 2023, at Jackson Dam in Alberton, Johannesburg. Picture: Alaister RussellIn fact, you hardly ever see snow in the City of Gold, mainly because its weather is not built for it. The city sits under a high-pressure cell, and its winters are cold and dry. For snow to happen you need high humidity and lots of moisture.
like Americans talk about the Great Depression or of Black Friday in 1987 — almost as if it was a seismic event that shaped the history of Earth. Still, to see Ellis Park under a dusting of snow is quite something. Pictures are also doing the rounds of St John’s College looking less like a South African institution and more like Harry Potter’s Hogwarts, only with less magic, and rugby instead of the faster and far superior game of quidditch.
