First significant snow of the season on Mauna Kea

[TomK]

It's been snowing at the summit since this morning - a few inches last time I checked with perhaps another 6 inches to come over the next day. The road to the summit has been closed to all traffic, it's impassable at the 5-mile marker (about 12,000 feet). Should be a good view from sea level once conditions clear, but that might not be for a while.
