Snowing in Sutherland

The weather forecast for Monday, the 12th of July 2021, predicted light snow in the late afternoon for the South African Astronomical Observatory in Sutherland.  That morning saw a stunning show of sun rays, piercing the typical broken cloud you find before snow.  The wind was picking up as is also typical for Sutherland, where I always said it snows horizontal.  I can count the times I’ve seen it snow vertically on my one hand, in my almost 35 years at the Observatory.
