It may still be summer for another couple of weeks, but some of the U.S. appeared to skip straight to winter weather over Labor Day.

Parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Montana and Utah saw several inches of snow accumulate due to an "unseasonably strong storm system for September" in the Rocky Mountain area, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The storm brought snow and wind gusts up to 45 mph to the region, with a winter storm warning in effect until 12 p.m. Tuesday.

Chris Frink shared video showing a bison walking through a snowstorm in Yellowstone National Park on Monday evening.

"Labor Day in Yellowstone," Frink wrote in the video's caption. "Surely this bison is a metaphor for something in 2020."

Historically, it has snowed every month in Yellowstone National Park. Few places in the US, get snow in July & August. Last year we experienced a decent hail storm during August in Flagstaff, AZ.

When visiting Yellowstone, dress in layers.

Never been, but learned that lesson visiting the Grand Canyon. Unfortunately, the sandals with socks and light jacket were NOT enough.
