Activity Summary for past 24 hours: There were no significant changes. Aloha: That (in red) is the volcano update this morning. It is a very nice day in Hawaii nei today. On the way down to Hilo we could see the summit of Mauna Kea and when in Hilo the summit of Mauna Loa. Both covered with snow. What a glorious sight!!!
The title of today's post, Snow in Hawaii, came to mind on the way into Hilo for obvious reasons. It brought to mind something I read a long time ago. It may have been John Papa 'I'i, or Kamakau, I do not remember. It was about snow in old Hawaii, way before contact. The snow went from the top on Mauna Kea to the sea at Laupahoehoe. It must have been just snow fall with no accumulation.
In the 70's a police officer, that I went to school with, was cruising the Saddle Road and he got stuck in a snow bank. That made the headlines in the local paper.
I think we will go to the zoo today. That is, if CJ stops crying. We have a white tiger. It was given to the county by Sigfried and Roy a few years ago. The last time we went to the zoo the peacocks were all proud of their tails. Oh, guess who stopped crying. Looks like it is just about zoo time. God bless you all and may God bless America. Heaven help us.
