In a different site, temp is on, only the mountainous part of the map is covered in snow, but even that is only partially covered....

Mid summer with temp turned on, the snow will not melt.

Sounds like that other site may be a matter of elevation.. For your first site, you are going to either have to magmafy your river, as described earlier, or turn temp off when the water melts.. I'd go with the first solution, as it also give you access to magma forges. It would probably be best if you considered the 15 prior years an interesting heat wave/weather phenomena, and just move on. Besides, a hot-tub river is a very dwarvenesk mega-construction.

Different biomes can have different temperature ranges during their seasons.

I've heard wonderful, wonderful tales of sites where there's a waterfall running from a warm biome into a colder one, resulting in an annual flooding of the map when the waterfall's drainage freezes into an ice dam and the waterfall just keeps on going. :)
