The lower snows will melt, causing flooding as appropriate to the geography and the precipitation. But unless it's an unusual year I'd expect the flooding in a given place to have happened there before so there won't be (many) settlements at great risk. Though people do naturally live by rivers. As a general rule, dangerous floods aren't caused by melting as it's too slow, but rather by heavy rain.
There is likely to be some snow year-round on higher north-facing slopes; you might have a small glacier in a shadowed valley.
