There was chocolate snow in a Swiss town in the middle of August.

From The Independent:

The Lindt & Spruengli company confirmed local reports on Tuesday that there was a minor defect in the cooling ventilation for a line for roasted "cocoa nibs" in its factory in Olten, between Zurich and Basel.

[...]

Combined with strong winds on Friday morning, the powder spread around the immediate vicinity of the factory, leaving a fine cocoa dusting.

The Lindt company has confirmed that the chocolate snow was harmless to both people and the environment. The only damage was done to a single car; the company has offered to clean the chocolate flakes off of the vehicle for the owner, but so far, no one's taken them up on that.
