One thing I can't get my head over is seeing snow at this time of year

Ah, reminds me of da UP, eh.  :colorful:

Even here, in the Midwest, we can see snow from August through June in some parts (my alma mater's home of Houghton, MI comes to mind - they get 210 inches of snow per year on average).  Hell, Houghton's even seen flurries on July 4th.

When I lived in Yellowstone, it snowed every month.  Then it would be 80 the next day sometimes.

I thought August was the hottest month in general (due to the seasonal delay of the oceans warming up, that sort of thing).

I also have been caught in a snowstorm on July 15th.  Yep, both times in Wyoming - once in Yellowstone (~8000 feet), once on US-14 on the pass which is 9666 feet whose name I don't recall.
