Although this is the dry season, we have had some precipitation over the past few days. That precipitation of course falls as snow at the high elevations of the nearby volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl, both of which are over 17,000 feet above sea level.
A friend of Alejandro, a mountain climber who takes tourists on climbing expeditions, sent him this photo of "Popo" this morning.
I went to the "Webcams de México" website and found this image of the volcano in which you can see more clearly the snow covering the peak.
Alejandro's friend also sent this beautiful photo of the neighboring volcano "Izta".
With the chilly January temperatures that we have been having, I suspect that the mountains will remain snow-covered for a while.
