Fellow Daynoter Rick Hellewell sent along this link to an interesting NASA photo of the Big Island of Hawai'i. The two big white spots are the snow-covered tops of the volcanoes Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea.
Many people do not realize that we do get snow in Hawaii. At least, that is, on these two volcanoes. While it's not usually the kind of snow good for skiing, many people do enjoy snow boarding down the slopes. However, as there are no ski lifts, you have to walk or drive back up.
By the way, Mr. Hellewell is a computer security expert so you would do well to peruse his site. Highly recommended.
Aloha!

That's the way ice ages start, just a little snow down south and before you know it Hawaii looks just like Greenland ...
