An incredible blizzard has hit Mauna Kea,Hawaii

A blizzard is headed for Hawaii, and meteorologists are stunned. People reported that portions of the Big Island of Hawaii are expected to see 12 inches or more of snow and winds up to 100 mph Friday evening through Sunday morning, according to a bulletin from the National Weather Service.

“Travel could be very difficult to impossible,” the bulletin stated. “Blowing snow will significantly reduce visibility at times, with periods of zero visibility.” This unusual weather event, which will largely impact higher elevations, has surprised meteorologists across the country.
