Haleakala Maui gets snow today

Yes it's true, there really is some snow on our mountain today.  This was taken last week, before the snow, from Huelo Maui, part of Haiku.  Today I can't get a good picture because the clouds are still lingering up there in the snow zone at the top.  The road to the top was closed due to winter weather conditions... ice on the road!  

Pictures from the Maui News.

Wordless Wednesday - Haleakala gets snow today

I hope that our little bit of snow will stick around for a few days, as it doesn't happen very often.  Maybe I'll get lucky later today and get a picture.  

We are very fortunate to only get the occasional snow here on Maui, and believe me, we know how lucky we are.  Every day we are bombarded with news footage of the latest blizzards and storms that the rest of the country is experiencing.   I guess Florida is the only state without snow so far this year, but that can change.  

With the days getting longer, it kind of feels like time to plant a garden already!  I bought some seeds and I'm digging in.

Georgina, we would not think of Hawaii as a snow location?    We are getting snow here in Denver today, but not much expected!

Hi Joan - I guess you're used to loads of snow every winter and it just wouldn't be the same without it!  I hope your winter will be short and sweet.

Georgina,

What a gorgeous shot!  I knew the big island had all 4 climate zones, but did not know that Maui got snow.  Thanks for sharing this wonderful photo.  A

Georgina, I heard that on the news the other day - 49 of the 50 states all had snow, can you guess which one.  I, of course, guessed Hawaii.  But, no, it was Florida.  I hope you get a picture.  Do you know how often it happens?  Like once every 50 years or what?

Wow, Georgina...in all the years I've lived on Oahu (growing up) I've never seeen snow there! Thanks for sharing this photo with us, I never would have guessed snow anywhere else in Hawaii besides the Big Island. :)
