Mount Lemon, just north of Tucson, Arizona, gets snow and they have the southernmost ski resort in the U.S. and that is all natural snow… It is variable, so some years there is barely enough for a good snowball fight.
But since this posting has turned to dry and wet tread tires… you can guess what most Arizonian drivers use… However, when it is snowing on the mountain, the sheriff’s office closes the road to all but 4-wheel drive vehicles and vehicles with tire chains. The police do not accept a driver’s word that their tires are “snow tires…”
In an attempt to prevent road jams caused by vehicles being turned around on the Catalina Highway to Mt. Lemmon, the Pima County Sherriff’s Office issues alerts of road closure hotline at (520) 351-3351, and they have live webcams feeds before you start your trip to get the most current road status.
I posted about Mount Lemon several years go…
