This can happen quite often here in Visalia, California. The elevation in Visalia is about 300 ft above sea level, while Mount Whitney, just under 60 miles (95 km) east-northeast from here is at 14,505 feet. We can have 60F and rain and just 30 miles east have snow. Of course I am talking about the Sierra Nevada.

Totally unreleated:
BTW, The Sierras is a GREAT place for Ham repeaters. Ours is just 37 miles northeast of the house at 7500 feet elevation with Internet service via microwave links. VHF and UHF coverage for 200 miles along I-5 and CA-99.
