Hawaii is bracing Sunday for another foot of snow, in addition to the 2 feet that landed on the island’s highest mountain peaks since Thursday, The Weather Channel reported. The snow is falling on the peaks of the Big Island of Hawaii, including Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, and the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for the area through late Sunday night.
“The snow level almost never gets below 9,000 feet in Hawaii during the winter, but since these mountains are taller than 13,600 feet, 13,700 feet and 10,000 feet, respectively, they get dusted with snow a few times a year,” said Ken Rubin of the University of Hawaii. “It rarely stays on the ground for more than a few days though.” FULL REPORT

Global Warming- Yea, rrriiiigggggghhhhtttt.
I live in Hawaii and this is a normal occurrence every winter. This is not an end time occurrence. It is a 12,000 ft high mountain. Yes it sounds strange that it snows in Hawaii and it is a interesting headline for those who are not familiar with this reoccurring event.
