SA experiences the coldest day of the year so far.

From ice, rain, black frost and snow, it was all hell, or rather cold, let loose in South Africa as a second cold front made landfall at the beginning of the week.

Reports of extreme cold weather, strong winds, sleet, ice, rain, hail, a storm surge and snow have flooded social media as the country experienced the coldest day of the year so far this year following a cold front over the weekend.

Vox Weather meteorologist Annette Botha said the snow in Kouebokkeveld, Western Cape, was cold, but not enough to "freeze your socks off", like other parts of South Africa with below zero temperatures.
