Yellowstone could get first snow over labor day.

My friends who are volunteers at Old Faithful said it snowed in July.
It has snowed in YNP every month of the year. Snowed there the entire first week of July my 2nd summer working there (late 60s). No biggie; it melted by 9 AM. Other than freezing temps overnight, which are common by this time of year, you shouldn't have too much to worry about, amandasgramma.
We currently have a stationary front positioned right over central Idaho, which we hope brings rain/snow to that area over the weekend to knock the wildfires down. If it does, that will improve air quality over all of Idaho and also anywhere downwind, including Yellowstone, so that's a good thing. That front should move through by Monday or Tuesday.
Slight correction to JimShoe; most of Yellowstone is between 7500 and 8000 feet, with only a few spots along the road that are 9000 feet or over (Dunraven Pass, Beartooth Pass - the latter is technically outside park boundaries). Close enough, though! :)
