I hear the Maui fellas are still rollin’ coal on their way down from the summit of Haleakala.

 

Is this normal?...
I can imagine some snow at high elevations over there but blizzard conditions?... Hawaii ...???

A few years ago Tornado's in NYC ?? .. ?? ...

First year on record for no snow in Denver on Dec 1 .. ? .. ? ..

Is it me or has the weather gone totally bonkers, what's next ? .. ?

 

I drove Jeep from Hilo to Kailua a couple years ago. I remember watching the dashboard thermometer dropping through the 40°’s and into the upper 30°’s and hoping I didn’t breakdown while wearing my board shorts and slippers.

 

Apparently they had a blizzard in 2018 also.

 

Damn, need to check on my buddy.

last time I was there it was perfect…. Also was in July

 

Mauna Kea peak has PERMAFROST! It NEVER thaws up there.

Chilly and breathing don't come easy.

 

He’s gonna be okay

 

I think that there will be more snow on Mauna Kea in Hawaii this week than Denver. How is that for climate.

 

Why are you so reactionary about extreme weather events? Yes, tornados can happen anywhere around the globe, even here in Oregon. The big island is a mountain, it is taller than Mt. Hood. The most deadly and possibly strongest hurricane of all time was in 1900 in Galveston, Texas.
Stop believing everything you here or read, especially if it is a “news” station telling you.


I’ll go back to drinking my beer now...

 

Spent a week on the Kona side 11/8 to 11/15. Great weather everyday!
Took my buddy "Yancey D." a long sleeve shirt from my club in S.D., guess it will come in handy after all!

 

It snows multiple times every year on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, this is nothing new.

 

This was either black ice or that Ram driver hates Subarus!

 

It’s a well-known short cut if you got a drop bracket lift and lo-pro mud tires.

Puʻu ʻUlaʻula (Haleakalā)

10,023 feet above sea level

 

This was 2019.. snow fall down to 6,200 ft. Lowest elevation in recorded history. Normally it stops at around 8,000 ft.

 

ironically in hilo it was nice and sunny lol. on the big island we have all seasons all year long depending o what side of the island you drive to.

 

I remember guys filling the truck bed with snow and taking it down to the beach in Hilo.
