Does it snow in winter?
It does not snow in the valley but does snow on the higher peaks of the Cederberg mountains during winter. Snow may be visible on the peaks when looking west up the valley on these days, and if a westerly wind blows, it does drop the temperature considerably - a good time to snuggle up inside in front of a fire! The farm can experience frost occasionally in the winter mornings.
