Just curious if no snow this late in the year was common in that part
of the continent? I've read of the first snow falling in the UP of
Michigan as not-unheard-of in August.

I was a bit surprised as it's not all that much warmer where I am in
Southern California.

but some.  And what you heard was then.  This is now:
