Just a few days ago I was watching a TV show about illegal immigration
across the US/Mexico border, and it looked like there was snow on the
ground there.

The Rocky Mountains goes from Canada to Mexico. Almost impossible to
cross them at less than 10,000 ft. I got caught in a huge snow storm
50 yrs ago in Kingman AZ. Drove South to Phoenix to find passage
East. Finally made it, but Still hadda traverse a 10K ft pass covered
in snow in NM. Yeah, it snows in Mexico, too.
