so, here snow about two or three times in the winter, specially en january and february, the most of times snow 1600 meters over the sea level, altough some winters the snow could be from only 900-1000 meters, in the highest mountains, over the 2000 meters could resist some months, i remember in february of the year 2005, that snowed 2 meters in Roque los Muchachos (2300 meters) and 4 months later, in june it had a little snow jet, i hope have helped you, im sorry if my english is not good :oops:

On Valentine's Day 2004, the North Texas region a decent amount of snowfall (4 in. to be exact)...but all that melted in less than 24 hours.
