Denver still looking for winter and in the tropics.......
A rare blizzard warning for Hawaii has left meteorologists dumbfounded, as several parts of high terrain on the island prepare for heavy rain, snow and gusts this weekend.
The blizzard warning was issued by the National Weather Service in Honolulu on Thursday for Hawaii's Big Island summits starting Friday at 6 p.m. HST to Sunday at 6 a.m. HST.
Up to 12 inches of snowfall are expected alongside wind gusts of over 100 mph, according to local weather forecasters.
"Travel should be restricted to emergencies only. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle," the National Weather Service advised.
Meteorologists took to Twitter to express their disbelief, with many pointing out that it's not something the island experiences often.
"WINTER IN HAWAII: You probably have seen this going around social media and it's not fake," said meteorologist Brittany Foster of Channel 8 KLKN-TV in Lincoln, Nebraska. "Hawaii is dealing with some snow! A Blizzard Warning is in effect for the Big Island Summits as up to 12 inches of snow is expected with wind gusts over 100 mph. WOW!"
Have had the pleasure of snow boarding the volcano in the morning and surfing in the afternoon Kona side

Hoping that everyone stays safe and that there's no loss of life like there was during the Texas shitshow.

The only place really effected on the Big Island are the observatories atop Mauna Kea the road going up is usually closed..and 4 wheel drive is a must have... but after a snow lots of people make the trek to the volcano to ski or board...no lifts you walk to your starting point...they use to hold a snow boarding contest there back in the day... -

Been wearing shorts the past few days upper 50s and lower 60s here in the midwest, and there talking Blizzard Conditions in Hawaii how crazy is that. I did change the plug and oil and fired up the ol snowblower today just in case winter decides to show up sometime soon hoping it's not needed any time soon. Hope those in Hawaii stay safe, as Blizzard conditions with 100mph winds dont sound good.Home Theater
