I'd assumed it was above normal, given the multitude of stories this past week about Hawaiian blizzards in all the news pages.

Eg: "Hawaii Faces Down Nearly Three Feet of Snow" or "Will Hawaii's snow storm ruin my vacation? What travelers need to know" or "Hawaii Gets Pounded with Snow" or "More snow in Hawaii than Cleveland? Yep. It happened this past ..." or "Hawaii's highest peaks get 2 feet of snow — and more is on the way" and hundreds more like that.

But if you're right, that this is totally normal, then I'd have to think the unthinkable - that the news pages are hyping a story far beyond its true importance in order to generated more clicks. You truly expect me to believe that? Yeah, right.

Yeah, the MSM doing “Click Bait Headlines” for ad revenue?!?! Say it ain’t so! That borders on “Fake News”!! :-0

In reading further I see that the observatory on Mauna Kea averages up to 10-15 feet of snow per year (eq. to 7.14” of rain). So I guess 2 feet in a couple of days would be quite a bit for them. I didn’t read the MSM reports, but it sounds like they were implying with their click bait headlines that it was snowing on Waikiki beach or something!

Are you that gullible? Bring up the weather for any Hawaiian island. Below 5000 feet, all is as usual.

You go above 10,000 feet most anywhere, expect sleet or snow if a lot of moisture comes through in the winter.
