"We don't keep records of these kinds of things," forecasters said on Twitter. "Would be interesting to know though. It has only snowed a few times in June at Bogus Basin since 2000."
Just last weekend, the Boise area saw temperatures that challenged record highs for late May, the Idaho Statesman reported. On May 29, the weather service in Boise recorded the hottest temperatures of the year with temperatures well into the 90s.
Many people on social media were sharing their thoughts on the historic, crazy weather.
