Snow? At Quartzsite?

Ah, well, viewable from Quartzsite anyway.

Those who awoke Monday morning and gazed out toward the Kofa Mountains may have had a bit of a start. Yes, Sir, that is snow in them thar hills.

While temperatures on the desert camping areas like LaPosa South LTVA (where this photo was taken) were in the 40's, in the nearby "mountains" the overnight temps had evidently been a wee bit cooler. That rain you heard pattering on the overhead at the Quartzsite level must have been quieter in the higher ups.

Hope you looked quick, for while this is not an unheard of phenomena, it's one that never lasts too long. Just another Quirk of Quartzsite.
