(I hope this isn't breaking any rules since this IS a working climate system and I don't know where else to post this)

Could Minas Tirith ever likely get snow either at the lower spots or higher where the king lives? What are your thoughts? The reason I asked as Middle Earth while a fictional place DOES have a working climate system.
If you don't believe me this link explains the normal climate:

"The daily temperature in Middle Earth is going to vary vastly depending on where in Middle Earth you are (and, of course, what season it is). You can make a lot of assumptions based on descriptions within the various stories, but for efficiency’s sake my answer is coming from The Atlas of Middle-earth, which includes a whole chapter of thematic maps.
All in all think of Middle Earth as Europe, basically, when it comes to climate. The western regions (so most of Eriador) had mild weather all-around. East of the Misty Mountains saw more extremes, with colder winters and warmer summers. Most of Gondor and Rohan was pretty warm, with hot summers and mild winters. Also keep in mind that the Norther Waste is basically a polar region, so it gets colder the further north you go. See the climate map below:
If you’re wondering about Beleriand in the First Age, I’ve included that map as well (it’s the one on top, fyi.) Also, keep in mind that Valinor would have perfect weather all the time, because the Valar said so."
So this leads me to believe since Middle Earth is heavily westerly dominated by the ocean winds under the right setup how far south could snow ever fall? All the way into Gondor/Mordor regions?
