Snowfall across KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape, and the Free State is predicted to begin thawing. While the initial snow warning has been downgraded, the melting snow poses a significant risk of icy road conditions. Motorists in these regions are advised to exercise extreme caution while traveling. The melting snow creates treacherous surfaces, increasing the potential for accidents. Authorities are monitoring the situation and urging drivers to reduce speed and increase following distances. The icy conditions are expected to persist for some time as temperatures remain low, despite the incoming thaw. Travelers should check road conditions before embarking on journeys.
