Yes, it snows in Hawaii...the 2 extinct volcanos on the big island (Hawaii) have snow nearly year round. I've been about half way up the one with the observatory, but didn't go further due to not being dressed for the cold up there. A blizzard is pretty rare, mostly it's just snow fall as normal.
Arare blizzard warning for Hawaii has left meteorologists dumbfounded, as several parts of high terrain on the island prepare for heavy rain, snow and gusts this weekend.
The blizzard warning was issued by the National Weather Service in Honolulu on Thursday for Hawaii's Big Island summits starting Friday at 6 p.m. HST to Sunday at 6 a.m. HST.
Up to 12 inches of snowfall are expected alongside wind gusts of over 100 mph, according to local weather forecasters.
"Travel should be restricted to emergencies only. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle," the National Weather Service advised.
Meteorologists took to Twitter to express their disbelief, with many pointing out that it's not something the island experiences often.
