Terra Modis Satellite Image: Western Cape Snow (10 Jun 2012





Images: Radid Responce - LANCE - Subsets - NASA (Click on images for larger view.)

This morning's second Terra Modis overpass (100 mins apart) gives moderate coverage of the western half of SA, and shows clear skies and widespread snow over the SW-Cape and southern Cape mountains (west-east Swartberg ranges).

Visual observation (from Kenilworth) at midday confirms light snow above 1600m in the Franschoek region, and heavy snow between 1700-1800m in the Wemmershoek region. The heaviest snow is of course on the Matroosberg, which is not visible from Cape Town. The snow did not really reach the Cederberg range (this time). Obs. Gordon Richardson
