Yeah, the MSM doing “Click Bait Headlines” for ad revenue?!?! Say it ain’t so! That borders on “Fake News”!! :-0
In reading further I see that the observatory on Mauna Kea averages up to 10-15 feet of snow per year (eq. to 7.14” of rain). So I guess 2 feet in a couple of days would be quite a bit for them. I didn’t read the MSM reports, but it sounds like they were implying with their click bait headlines that it was snowing on Waikiki beach or something!

Personally, I couldn't care less how far above normal this is for Hawaiian winters.
My reason for posting was to generate a little sarcastic fun at the expense of AGW's True Believers, by imagining a conversation where their handlers / string-pullers strive to reassure them that unusually heavy Hawaiian snows are in no way an indictment of AGW Holy Doctrine, by coming up with all kinds of ridiculous excuses for the snowstorm. Sort of like the "Dr. Science" radio series.
Some posters have the right idea, adding their own humorous explanations. Eg, sacrifices in the volcano. I was hoping someome could figure a way to connect Zero's (alleged) Hawaiian roots to the blizzard.
