In the UK a cricket match was once called off because of snow, in JUNE! However I believe it has snowed in August in the UK.
The Year Without a Summer
In May of 1816, however, frost killed off most of the crops that had been planted, and in June two large snowstorms resulted in many human deaths as well. In July and August, lake and river ice were observed as far south as Pennsylvania. Rapid, dramatic temperature swings were common, with temperatures sometimes reverting from normal or above-normal summer temperatures as high as 95 °F (35 °C) to near-freezing within hours.

I also remember reading about a freak snowstorm in July that happened in normaly hot and humid parts of Canada several decades ago but I can't find a link on it.
.im having difficulty finding it myself I appreciate the help. I know this happened ive questioned everyone in my family about it as well as my ex-wife who also grew up in michigan and they all remembered it.

I have no idea if this is relevant or not. Mt. St. Helens erupted in 1980. When I first saw the ash (I was approaching Beaverton) I thought it was snow. Some ash did travel that far east. In fact the second eruption nearly buried a town in northern Idaho.
I was trapped in blizzard on July the 8th in the early 80,s. I was in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. The day before it was in the upper 70's.
