That's right, Hawaii. While the higher elevations often get a little snow, this is different.

This is a picture of a snowstorm in the high elevations of the Big Island of Hawaii. They report 6″ of snow with drifts a foot high! The snow and ice have closed the road to the summit area of Mauna Kea.

A Winter Storm Warning was issued for both snow and freezing rain. Temperatures on the summits dipped as low as 16 degrees with wind chill temperatures in the single figures.
