A rare summer snow in HawaiiSeveral times a year snow falls on the top of Mauna Kea mountain in Hawaii. The elevation is 13,796 feet. Last winter there were 2 blizzard warnings issued for Mauna Kea. While snow usually happens in the winter, it is pretty rare for the summer. Here is what the top of the mountain looked like after Friday's snow. The road to the top was closed for several hours due to icy conditions. The snow is now gone. Here is the current view. It is still cold at the observatory near the top of the mountain. The current temperature is 43 degrees. Mauna Kea has 11 out of 13 earth climate zones. To learn more about snow at Mauna Kea....click HERE
