Snowing In Paradise

Up to 6 inches of snow fell on the peaks of Hawaii's tropical mountains earlier this week. There were winter storm warnings in place on Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. There was heavy winds up to 55mph and low visibility in the summits of the islands.

"The conditions will make driving and hiking very dangerous, the NWS warned, with the combination of strong winds and heavy snow making travel potentially 'very hazardous or impossible.' "

"The variation in the island's elevation allows for colder temperatures at higher altitudes -- which can support winter weather precipitation"
