August is summer, there will not be any snow in Yakutsk or anywhere on the Kolyma Highway. I doubt you'll even see snow on the mountains.
The Kolyma region is the coldest in the northern hemisphere but far from being the snowiest. You don't need snow preparations.
Be prepared for dusty roads and hordes of mosquitoes instead.
EO (Drove the highway in October and January / February).
