In Arizona, the presence of snow is strictly a function of altitude. It is not unusual to have snow above 4000 feet above sea level, but it is uncommon in the lower deserts. At lower levels snow accumulations are usually extremely light and the snow melts almost immediately. I have seen it snow in Mesa a few times and have even seen it cover grass but melt immediately on any cement or asphalt surface. So, when I see snow in desert locations, it is always fascinating.
