I have been back in New Jersey since Sunday. There is, of course, snow in Hawai'i. On the Big Island, Mauna Kea rises 13,803 ft (4,207 m) above sea level, and has snow every winter. It's name means "?White Mountain" in Hawaiian, which demonstrates that its snow cap was there long before the island was "discovered" by Europeans. In fact, a hiker was lost in the snow on Mauna Kea 2 weeks ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mauna_Kea_from_the_ocean.jpg Muana Loa, also on the Big Island, is just a few feet lower, and can also have a snow cap. Occasionally, even Haleakala, on Maui, which is 10,023 feet above sea level, has a bit of snow at the summit. Three years ago, there was a large patch of snow that we could observe from the beach, where the temps were above 80 F. It disappeared within a few hours, however.
