SNOW ON TABLE MOUNTAIN – Or not?
The title of this email is ‘Snow on Table Mountain – believe it!” We believe you.
We received this from our CANDO in Cape Town – thanks sista!
TRUTH IS – apparently the pictures may be old ones… No-one in Cape Town is sure if it did indeed snow on Wednesday or not. Why does that not suprise us? Maybe they would have worked it out by Saturday. Just kidding…
! The Mail and Guardian reports that:
“Although e-mail photographs of snow on Table Mountain were circulating in the city on Wednesday afternoon, a staffer at the Table Mountain cableway said they were, in fact, images taken several years ago.
The staffer said the cableway did not have staff on top of the mountain, which was covered in heavy cloud, and it was not known whether it was actually snowing there.”
Thanks to the M&G. Any comments Cape Townians?
