Cold front coming.

Up till now our winter has not been very cold but that seems about to change. For the last two days there has been a very strong wind, (almost gale force) blowing out of the west, north west. This is caused by a cold front pushing in over the country from the south, south west from far out over the southern ocean. As the front moves north and north east it pushes air ahead of it and over the Drakensberg escarpment. There is a dust haze that stretches up for several kilometers and drastically reduces visibility. My photos of today's sunset shows this haze clearly.

The weather prediction for tomorrow is 0 degrees celscius  minimum and 0 degrees celscius maximum. Might not be as cold as some other places, but cold enough for here.

It's a case of going, going, gone.


Going.

Going,

... and then virtually gone.

I believe that 0 degrees Celcius is freezing and freezing is cold no matter where you are. Time to become one with your heater.
