A few centimetres of snow covered roads and adjacent farms affecting the Rumuruti-Nyahururu road and the Nyahururu-Maralal road.

Motorists stopped to take pictures of the snowfall and share on social media, which was abuzz with remarks about climate change.

Motorists lined up on the Rumuruti-Nyahururu road after it was covered in snow, July 4, 2017.

In the evening, temperatures across much of Nairobi and its environs were below 20 degrees Celsius.

Snow in Kenya is not a particularly common sight, given its proximity to the Equator and the vast stretches of semi-desert scrubland.
but it's not, It's cold so it's just weather. Move along.
The coming ice age, a taste of what is to come!
It could well be, but I wouldn't know which way to put my bets on a mass extinction event involving biological weapons, or some genius 'scorching the sky'. Besides all that, the solar peak passed sometime around 2004 or so, and cooling is expected. At least, by astro-weather people with any credibility.
Must have been a memorable day for the locals! I wonder if their DPW has a couple of plows around just in case.
