This is a photo of Mingus Mountain taken from Prescott Valley, Arizona, elevation 5,300 ft. Notice that there is snow on Mingus Mountain, all the way down to it's base. Notice that there is almost no snow in the foreground, even though the elevation change is quite small. The small hill in the distant foreground is in Prescott Ridge, a neighborhood of upscale homes on large lots. That hill, less than 200 feet tall above the valley floor has a snow cap.

Snow on Mingus Mountain, Prescott Valley, Arizona

Here in the high desert, our snow predictions usually indicate elevation levels rather than indicating which town will get snow and which ones will not. Sometimes the prediction may say 5,600 feet, which is only 300 feet above th level of the town. The mountains may be only a few hundred feet above town level will have snow when we have no snow in town.

It is close to 100 degrees today and I see snow there.  I guess that is what the rest of the country feels like as we have such mild temps normally.

Are you saying there is snow on Mingus Mountain today, August 18th? Or was that photo taken during the colder months?

Sorry, guys, this photo was taken last winter. It is nice here today, however. It is 77 degrees at 10:00 am and we expect a high today of 85 degrees.
