I didn't see this earlier, that's crazy that the roads were closed for so long. And to think that the same place is capable of having such wildly different conditions a year on!

Yep. When I was living in the mountains (it was around 2007) we had really bad bushfires. One day, I had to leave work early (in the city) and go home because a bushfire was threatening my village. The very next week, it started snowing on the bushfires. I've also been in snow in the mountains the last week of November and around Obereon in the first week of December.
