#1 There is now snow cover in 49 states. Only Florida does not have a significant amount of snow on the ground anywhere in the state.

At this time, snow covers some 69.4 percent of the contiguous United States.

#2 uh, guys? It snows here every year. Why do you think they call the volcano Moana Kea__ White Mountain (hint__ it ain't because of guano)? There's actually a ski run on one of the volcanos - Kea or Loa, don't remember which. When it snows in Honolulu like it did last in , um 1959, I think__ then you have a story.

#3 The oddity is not Hawaii, it is the large amounts of snow in Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, S. Carolina, Mississippi and Georgia all at the same time.

#4 We had a couple of big snows in Alabama back in the mid-70's. It snows just about every year in North Alabama.

#6 Back in the late 70s early 80s my 1st wife and I knew a guy that wanted to move to the Big Island and start a hyprondrics operation. He was out looking at sites when on vacation and he had to stop at Sears for whatever and was walking through the Sporting Goods dept when he did a double take on a snowmobile display.

#7 It's not news that it snowed in Hawaii. I am really sad that we in the Sacramento valley have yet to feel the sweet kiss of a Snow Day. Can someone send Al Gore here?

#8 When I first visited Hawaii in 1990, I was eagerly looking out the plane window for any sign of the islands, surrounding by the bright sea. The very first thing I saw was the snow-capped peak of Mauna Kea. A few minutes later the pilot's voice came over the internet to announce that the sight of snow was the first glimpse normally obtained of the islands as pilots approached from the US West Coast.
