"Snow is not unusual on the Big Island of Hawaii's tallest peaks, but any time it falls, as it did Sunday and Monday, headlines and social media chatter follow."
"About 2 inches of snow dusted the summits of both Maunakea and Mauna Loa on Sunday morning, with a moisture-rich low-pressure system sweeping the Hawaiian Islands..."
"Snow usually falls annually on Maunakea and Mauna Loa, mostly often from October through April, but it can occur at any time of year."
"The summit of Mauna Loa, which is part of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, remained closed on Tuesday morning...Due to winter weather conditions, the summit is currently closed for both day and overnight use."
