It's snowing! - TomK - 07-16-2015
Yes, it's mid-July but it's snowing hard on Mauna Kea's summit ridge. Got an automated warning about ice and snow, checked things and summit crews are on their way down from the summit area.
Not the first time it's snowed up there in July, but it's very rare.
For early-risers, if the snow survives the rest of the night, you should be able to see it here:

That's if the thunderstorms don't cut the power...

I believe the 4.5" of rain. I think we got a like amount. We're having our now 5 year old granddaughter's birthday party at our house Saturday. Fingers crossed.

Funny, yesterday was so gorgeous from sunup through sundown and into the night, then I woke to torrential rain and massive thunder.

Back a few months ago,during that short small dry spell, or the thread about snow on the peaks MK and ML,My husband who no longer posts anything on this site, stated he remembered snow in July and or lasting through to July.Some of the youngers on this site listened but most made big issues over our memory of way back before many here were born.So here it is July 16 / 17 and yes snow on MK .
In the 1930s and before,this was common more than not.

Mrs. Mimosa, a photographer i know has enlarged an image showing a view of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai plastered with snow extending down to amazingly low elevations, far beyond anything of today's standards. i believe the photo was taken in the 30's if i recall correctly. certainly around that time or a little before as evident by the automobile and attire of the person visible in the image.

It's probably dead quiet up there now after all the noise of the past few weeks.
