Snowed Under: Scores of trucks and motorists are stranded in a long queue this morning on the N3, about 30km from Harrismith, after being caught in blizzards.
In buses, trucks, cars and homes thousands of people have been stuck in small towns or on roadsides today as heavy snowfall caused a number of major routes across the country to be closed.

The survey also found that Americans harbor negative feelings toward congressional Republicans. Roughly as many people blame Republican policies for the poor economy as they do Obama. 65 percent disapprove of the GOP’s handling of jobs, compared to 52 percent for the president.
When the Democrats took over Congress in 2006, unemployment was about half of what it is now. The rise since then obviously must be the Congressional Republicans fault.
Global warming and the melting of the polar caps is worse than previously thought, according to a new study from the University of Arizona that appeared in Nature Geoscience
The study estimates that subsurface ocean temperature along the coast of Greenland could rise by 3 degrees Fahrenheit and those along the coast of Antarctica could rise by 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100.
The effects are already being seen as below normal sea surface temperatures with lots of ice.
