As some of you may know, Hawaii is one of the few places in
which you can snow ski in the morning, water ski at lunch,
and surf in the evening. Snow ski? Well, okay, conditions may
be more packed ice than packed powder but the white stuff
does fall at the summits of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and
sometimes Haleakala. This picture was taken this morning from
the
National
Radio Astronomy Observatory cam
atop Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawai'i.
The weather conditions at that time was below zero degrees temperatures (Celsius), winds of about 30 knots, and a relative humidity of about 98 percent.
I don't know if it's fogged in or if the winds are blowing the snow around making conditions next to impossible to see very far. In any case, it's very cold, windy, and you don't want to be in this kind of weather. Even if you do like to ski.

Better than here. It's minus 8C but we have no snow. And no way to do wind or wave surfing.
