First Snow

The first big snow of the season is always kind of exciting. There was a huge storm on Mauna Kea this past week—and down here, too—and it left our 13,00-plus-foot mountain wearing a beautiful, white snowy cape.

When it snows here in Hawai‘i, people sometimes drive up the mountain and come back with a pickup truck full of snow. You see snowmen popping up in the oddest places: outside the veterinarian’s office, or on a street corner downtown. Of course, Hilo itself is an odd place to see a snowman.

  1. Really nice photos. We always feel a sense of awe when we have a clear view of Mauna Kea without low clouds covering the peaks, and an even greater sense of excitement when you can see a lot of snow.

    I also have seen the snowman in front of the Pet Hospital.
