There’s Even Snow in Hawaii!

While most East Coasters are trudging through slush and shoveling out sidewalks and driveways, it might be comforting to know that no part of the country is truly invulnerable to flurries — there’s even snow in Hawaii.

That’s right. Select portions of this legendary tropical state are currently home to snow… which our Fing Bing analysts suspect to have a slight coconut aftertaste. Hawaiian snow is most often found on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, two mountains on Big Island each over 13,000 feet tall.

But as if this wasn’t exciting enough, some meteorologists are reporting that the country is close to having snow in all 50 states at once. In fact, we’re only one state away — everybody’s waiting on Florida, the aptly named Sunshine State.

This is actually good news, since experts are calling for snow today over the Florida panhandle, in addition to regions of southeast Alabama and southwest Georgia.

But snow in Hawaii or not, it’s unlike that either Hawaiians or Floridians will suffer as much as people in the mid-Atlantic region, whose winter has already endured record-breaking levels of snow. The latest blizzard, which began on Wednesday, was the second in under a week. No fair!
