Yes,

I used to live in the Sonoran Desert, which covers parts of California, Arizona and the state of Sonora in Mexico. It does snow there from time to time. In fact, we had a white out in Tucson, AZ on Easter 2000 or 2001. It was brief and didn't accumulate, but it DID snow.

The mountain ranges surrounding Tucson (Rincons, Santa Ritas, Tuscons, Catalinas and Tortolitas) all gather a bit of white at the peaks. I went for a hike in the Catalinas on Mt Lemmon, which reaches 9,157 ft above sea level. It was April but there was snow so deep that the waist high trail markers were protruding thru the snow, hovering an inch or so above the powder.

It also snows in the Mojave Desert, which lies just north of the Sonoran, and covers parts of California, Utah, Nevada and Arizona. The Mojave Desert can be called the High Desert, with the Sonoran Desert referred to as the Low Desert.
