More snow forecast for tonight then there might be a break in the clouds Thursday afternoon through Friday morning so the summit could be visible from sea level during that time. Then more snow is forecast for Friday night through the weekend.
I saw some snow on the ground in the MLO web cams today although it did melt quickly. However, as temperatures drop overnight I wouldn't be surprised to see snow down to the 11,000 foot level tomorrow, perhaps lower.
]Sorry) Mr. Tom, I love the snow (knowing it makes for a challenge at the top of Mauna Kea)! Thank you for the good news! The break is welcome, too. We had three full weeks of rain in 1989, and when the clouds (and rain) broke, Mauna Kea was in her glory! The snow covered at least a third of the mountain.
Down to the 11K foot level is going to be quite a sight. Combined with an almost full moon, should be something to see.
Mahalo again.
JMO.
