My wife and I just got to Irun today June 9 and have heard there is snow on the route and have seen a website showing snow in the forecast. Can anyone confirm this, especially if you are walking the Camino and happen to see this post?

According to aemet.es the snowline is down to 1300/1400mts during the coming week right along the Norte. It might be cold and wet so hopefully you have warm layers and waterproofs.
The snow is in the mountains so you should be o.k. along the coast.

Don't worry about that, I live in the north coast, I have never seen the snow on the coast, nor even in winter.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Walking in early/mid May along the Cantabric Mountains, I saw snow on the tops (big patches). So, yes, I guess it can happen.
