I could not believe, as I was eating my breakfast this morning, I saw that Hawaii has over a foot of snow!!!!! I thought that Florida having some snow, not a foot, was strange, but this is crazy. What kind of snow clothes do they wear? A snow suit that could be used as a hula skirt for the winter? I find this so strange and funny. I can only visualize it.

I didn't know Hawaii had snow. Do they get snow every year? Sorry if it's a stupid question. :)

@JudyEv Just like here in Florida but I heard that some people in the northern part of the state had snow too.

That is not a stupid question. I never heard of snow there before that.

@ramapo17 I thought it seemed strange. Hawaii seems synonymous with palm trees, beaches and sunshine.

Never heard of snow in Hawaii! Course I don't know that much about Hawaii, in the first place.

Hawaii is the place where a lot of people like to go to during the winter months to get away with all the cold and snow where they live. I am sure they don't even have a snow shovel or snow blower.

@ramapo17 I went to Florida one year for Christmas and there was snow on the Palm trees. Course that was many years ago. But every thing was shut down. People don't know how to act there in snow. Don't know how to drive in it. They were having power outages, as well. They are not set up for snowy weather.

@His_chariot I know. I remember watching the weather reports when I lived in the mountains of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It was really funny.

I have seen a few days ago that Tokyo had snow for the first time in November in 50 years. This is a weird year.

I lived in Hawaii but our island didn't get snow. The snow is on the Big Island and it doesn't happen often.

Poor people in Hawaii! They surely have no warm clothes and of course no heaters for that.

That is crazy but that is also a sign of global warming. Though some people do not believe it to be real, it has to be real for things like that to be happening.

I'm actually not as surprised as I thought I would be about snow in Hawaii. They do have a very mountains geography (volcanic), so I can imagine during the winter some of those higher volcano peaks may get a dusting of snow. But I will admit, a foot of snow seems kind of crazy! I do remember a weather report--I can't remember if it was last winter or the one before--where the forecaster had mentioned that on that particular day it had snowed in all 50 states--including Hawaii and Florida--so I know it is possible!
