crazy weather: now there is snow in hawaii

my, i hope everyone will be responsible and will do their part in taking care of the planet.. :( there is just toooooooo muuuccchhhh smoke (air pollution) and garbage in this planet!.. i have heard that japan invent a machine that converts trash to oil, its really amazing.. if it really exist i wish philippines will buy a couple of it..

It's weird where I am. WE've been having fall for most of the winter when the people above and below us have been having winter. Now we have cold an only a dusting of snow. Single digits and below zero are here. Messes with the ground (think frost heaves) and pipes (think bursting). When we used to have snow, the ground did not heave as much and fewer people had broken water pipes. I used to snow shoe for fun and to get rid of tent catepiller cacoons from trees. With no snow, I can't see or reach them. I used to just scrape the scabs off the trees, now we'll have a horrible infestation again unless things change. I'm hoping we have a decent spring for the Maple Sugar Farmers. That hasn't been working out as well some years either.

Yeah pretty weird weather has been happening in the world lately. We have heard that flooding in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Flooding in Australia, and the nonstop rains in several provinces here in the Philippines. This are all odd weather phenomenon that is happening in our globe. Let us all pray that we can all be safe with all this disasters that is happening around the globe. I think weather pattern is slowly evolving and up to what extent it has changed is hard to predict but I hope it would not be that drastic that we have to adapt abruptly.

Hi. hotsummer. I don't know all about the global warnings, but having snow in Hawaii is something different. You would think that this is a tropical climate area, but now it may getting snow. The weather is definitely shifting constantly. In many states and countries the weather is changing. So, it would not be a surprise if the weather changes ironically.

Is this once in a blue moon or global warming. Snowing in Hawaii, don't you think it is cool?

That is quite shocking to hear- yes, there isn't any snow here in Philippines and it would be a bad thing if there was since many people here aren't ready for it. The seas and lakes and dams, the levels are getting higher because of this global warming- if this won't stop, our country might be flooded so much.

Yes, the weather and our planet is crazier and crazier in recently years. Floods, draughts, earthquakes, eruption of volcanos... ...etc. So much natural disasters. Here we are now suffering the extreme cold of the winter. And in the south of china, there are too much snows. And lots of crops are destoried. Because of the bad weather, the prices of the food are keeping on rising. Of course, because the rising prices of food, almost all things are more expensive this year than before. We ordinary people's life is harder and harder.

I used to live in Hawaii n the weather is so perfect. I heard sometime last year was snow. It was kind of shocking when I heard that. We should be prepare for everything

Hi hotsummer, Weather patterns are changing everywhere it seems, but there will be snow in the very high mountains wherever you are. We have been getting much warmer winters for the past couple of years, but this year it's really something. We usually get snow in November or early December but tomorrow will be the middle of January and we've only had one snowfall and that was two days ago and even then,it wasn't enough to shovel. It's also a beautiful day today but the wind is a bit high. Blessings.

It's normal to have snow in Hawaii up on Mauna Kea, but did they have it lower down?

seems to be getting worse but nothings being done about it. im wondering now if its to late to do anything about it?

Most definitely. it makes me wonder why it is that still not a lot of people believe that global warming actually exists. Hmmm..

So, such big change in the world temperature and weather, would it also affect our daily life, and the agricultural products? Would it be like the ancient prediction that we might have to face the end of this planet? I might read too much scientific fiction, but it might be the sign too. Don't you have that feeling somehow?

I still cant belive that it is snowing in hawaii it is usally hot over there. it does not snow over there pepole go over there because it dose not cold over there it is not so cold or not so hot or more say it is tropical and when it is tropical you like to swim or realax or maybe play vollyball or any other sport that you like to play.

"...snow falls every winter on Hawaii's two tallest volcanoes" I got this from http://www.usatoday.com/weather/news/2010-02-11-nationwide-snow_N.htm. So, snow in Hawaii is not new. http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/Global/story.asp?S=13826342 The photo below is the Mauna Kea mountain which, when translated, means "White Mountain". Still, there will be changes (and are already) in the weather patterns we are used to because the Earth is shifting it's axis. Of course there will be changes. We just have to get used to these changes and work with them instead of being afraid of how we'll handle it.

I have already seen different weather conditions in England! Its changed so much on the past few years its unbelievable. We have always had cold winters and hot summers but our weather has gone down as cold as -18C which was unbearable! I just hope its going to be a very hot summer this year to ake up for it! I cant beleive there has been snow in Hawaii tho thats crazy!

Snow in Hawaii???wow that's incredible! I thought it's always summer in Hawaii. Because when I think of Hawaii I think of Ocean waves and Sunshine.
