Mainecoons Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 I'm wondering if there has been sufficient snow at the Colima volcanoes such that there is some in the highest open visitor areas? We would like to take the "adopted" grand daughter to see real live snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMactavish Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 I tried this summer in dry weather to visit Nevado de Colima, what looks to be the only access to the higher elevation. The road would require a four wheel drive with a winch, so I turned back. I can only imagine what snow would do. https://www.google.com.mx/maps/place/Nevado+de+Colima/@19.5182523,-103.6685439,11.25z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x842561539d852bc1:0x7c2f5afc2d7d832!8m2!3d19.5633487!4d-103.608284?hl=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecoons Posted December 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Don't see a lot of white stuff up there. Great picture though! Satellite view seems to indicate the cloudiness is beginning to thin out and probably will be gone by tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid line of vehicles. Many passenger cars in the line.. I have a 4WD but never used the 4x4 function. Every vehicle made it to the top with no problem. I did go on a sunny day,and there had been no precipitation for at least a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nobody else on the road, my cell was not getting a signal, and the prospects of assistance was nil, so I turned back. I may return if I can join a parade in a 4WD like you did.

el bartman Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 I have a photo from yesterday, Tuesday, and no snow. Not even a hint. Don't know how to upload it or I'd post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
