Gee, I guess they're not feeling that global warming feeling. Maybe Hillary brought the "Gore Effect" with her visit.

People slowly came outside despite the cold wind across South Africa today, pointed their mobile phone cameras to the sky and opened their mouths to taste a rare snowfall that fell on much of the country.

The snow grew heavier in the afternoon in Johannesburg, covering rooftops and slicking roads. Snowflakes are a rare commodity in Johannesburg, even during winter. South African Weather Service records show it has snowed in Johannesburg on only 22 other days in the last 103 years. The last snow fell there in June 2007.

It's snowing in South Africa -- because of manmade global warming.

There, fixed

I wish it would snow here, it's been over 100 degrees since mid june.

Idiot! It is winter down there.

It's only snowed there 22 times in 103 years. Sorry that boat won't float.

But it has happened before.

About the same as in Jacksonville FL which is about the same distance north of the equator.

Sheesh idiots who do not even understand the seasons and what causes them.

I loved Juluka. Johnny Clegg and Sipho were awesome.

I'm having fun with it. The snowfall in SA is a true rarity. But it's called fucking weather and any time there is a run of hot weather the global warming freaks take a wrang attack.
So it's fun to poke back.

Weather happens. Sometimes extreme, sometimes norm. Although currently residing in a place on the planet that normally brags 10 months of winter and 2 months of bad skating we've been in a heat wave for over 2 months now.

I've lived in Golden, BC; Edmonton, Alberta; Toronto, Ontario (and the Golden Horseshoe); Nashville, Franklin and Nunnelly Tennesse; and pretty well spent my youth in the summertime growing up in Ormond by the Sea.

I understand seasons very well.

So they hit a 1 in 4 chance of having snow. BFD.

A warming climate does not mean there will be no more cold weather. What it does mean is that the weather swings will be wider and wilder with an overall warming. Exactly what we are seeing around the world.

See? What did I say? Snowing because of Global Warming.

Is that perfect or what?

Here's how you prove manmade global warming, take any weather event then add the phrase "Because of manmade global warming" and you have settled consensus science.

I mistook that a bit myself, I was thinking SA was as far south as the tip of SA. Looks like the northern most section of SA is around same lat as key largo, and the southernmost tip is equivilant to Arkansas-Tennesse. Still, that includes a lot of areas that generally experience significant snowfall at least as often as the winter olympics occur, and as you note, it is the equivilant of February there, hardly seems particularly note-worthy.

Sometimes it snows in Winter.

We see that the warming part of global warming is neither global or warming therefore we conclude that what we are witnessing are the twin effects of globalwarmercoolering and its ugly twin globalcoolerwarmering. All we know for certain is that America is melting the ice caps and killing cute polar bears
