Which, in effect, is indeed a snapshot.

A snapshot implies a representative sample. The weather at a particular time is not a representative sample of climate.
If you had read further: “An easy way to remember the difference is that climate is what you expect, like a very hot summer, and weather is what you get, like a hot day with pop-up thunderstorms.”
Now maybe there has been a shift in climate and eastern North America will have a cool, wet climate in the future, but one cool, wet spring is not an indicator of this.
