Tops of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on the Big island (Big Island) remain in the power of winter. The blizzard and the howling wind many times reduce visibility. Heavy rains, thunder-storms and floods have fallen upon other part of the island. “Powerful heavy rains and thunder-storms can cause promptly flooding banks streams, as has led to floods” — it is said in the message of a weather service.

“While there are clouds, rather dense for formation of ice crystals, and rather low temperature on heights, we still will see snowfall — the meteorologist Mathew Foster from a weather service in Honolulu has told. — During this cold season probably expects us from three prior to five snow events. In their some years can be more, in some it is less.
The only area in Hawaii where snow drops out with some regularity, is a volcano of Haleakal on the island of Maui. There, at the height about 3000 m, he is approximately time in five years”.
