Snow Again!

Okay, call it what you like but we have snow again, just a village away from where we had it two years ago, mh... snow in Kenya! So it usually starts as torrential rain which turns into heavy hailstones which then form a white, solid sheet of ice that takes much longer to melt than the snow in London.

One freak-show may be excused but two, in such similar version? Both around the month of August only two years apart? And not on the peak of Mt. Kenya either, no, but in the plains of Nyandarua! The white sheet that now covers the area looks pretty much like snow with people walking in and out of it much like you do in snow. This area is now definitely a tourist hot spot and I think in August it should be turned into a Winter sports site... ha ha, seriously though.

Let's face it, Nyandarua may be turning into the Winter region of Kenya. Who knows, maybe the earth has changed direction again and we are now slowly entering the winter zone... jokes jokes.

Well, for those of us who love snow the site of it in Kenya is very refreshing and gratifying, and I hope it carries on snowing (only without all the crop destruction). At least there's a place nearby where Kenyans can see snow without all the hassles of visas and expenses of air fare.
