Snow happens in the mountains pretty much regardless of latitude...:-)

I was on a temporary duty assignment to the island of Mallorca in the mid 80's. I was at the tropo site located on the mountain peak of Puig Major.

Overnight, just before Thanksgiving, something like 3-4 feet of snow got dumped there.

How about Mount Kilimanjaro?
