...okay, it happens -- but in Hawai'i?! :scared:

Saturday’s storm dropped several inches of snow on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, a relatively rare sight in June.

The National Weather Service says there’s even a chance of more snow falling this afternoon and a winter weather advisory is in effect until 6 p.m. today.

The cold air associated with an upper level storm system is still creating instability in the atmosphere and more snow, sleet or freezing rain could affect travel to the summits, forecasters said.

Park rangers cleared the road to the summit this morning and reported up to 8 inches of snow on the road, the weather service said.

edit: just realized that the Big Island papers are owned by the extremely evil Stephens Media, Righthaven's partner in crime. :grr: The O'ahu-based Star-Advertiser is not.

1. We were there visiting family two weeks ago

and the weather, according to locals, was weird, THe trades were also early... by over six weeks.

2. But FOX news and the right wing say Climate Change is a liberal hoax

just a way for liberals to make money saving the environment.

:sarcasm:

3. And they will continue to do so

especially in an instance like this: "Global warming? Ha! It's snowing in Hawai'i. In June!" :dunce:

4. Look on the bright side

you can go surf, and then go ski... in JUNE.

(No, not enough for skiing, but...)

Mahalo for the picture by the way... spectacular in a way.

9. One weather event =/= proof of climate change.

But an interesting news story, none the less. :thumbsup:

10. No but a PATTERN of weird weather events

does and this is just one more in that PATTERN.

See those twisters... were larger, more energy in the atmosphere. Several F05 Twisters in the summer, which is not over... we usually get ONE.

The drought in Mexico city, ongoing for ten years, and HOTTER as well.

The drought in Europe, killing wheat fields.

I could go on.

We now have a PATTERN. This pattern was predicted by the people with PhDs by the way. If anything their predictions were rather conservative.
