Four inches of snow in Johannesburg, First Since 1981 - 27 June 07 - Johannesburg
recorded its first confirmed snowfall in almost 26 years as temperatures dropped below freezing
in South Africa's largest city, grounding flights at its main airport.
The heaviest falls were over the southern suburb of The Hill, where four inches of snow fell.
