The 2012 winter season has officially been declared as being here with the first snow fall this past weekend in the Lesotho Highlands. The mountain pass getting to the Katse Dam was snowed in, leaving several vehicles stranded overnight. The snow storm struck quickly, surprising travelers who were not prepared for snow this early in the season. Several vehicles “lost the road” and collided into the barrier and countless others that were not 4×4 had to be abandoned on the pass. A cautionary note to any travelers going to Katse that they need to prepare for all weather conditions this time of the year.
