The winter spring

Spring started off pretty hot (30C+), and then last week we had a cold snap; we haven't had on at this time of year since the late 2010s. Saturday was rainy and cold, the cold-in-your-bones sort of cold. Sunday, thankfully, was cold but not wet, a good thing as I was doing a 15K race. On Saturday, 53 parkruns around the country were cancelled, the highest ever!

Conditions countrywide were cold too. In fact, the N3 freeway, the biggest inter-city freeway in the country, was closed at Van Reenen's Pass because of snow, and 1800 cars were trapped in the snow. Locals and farmers were helping the people in cars out. 

The weather is hot again, but I hear it may be cooler over the weekend.
