HONOLULU ― It’s late in the fall, but mountains on the island of Hawaii, known as the Big Island, are already dusted with snow. (And, yes, it snows in the island state of Hawaii.) The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for the summits of the 13,800-foot Mauna Kea and the 13,600-foot Mauna Loa on the Big Island on Tuesday afternoon, effective until Wednesday morning. Up to 2 inches of snow and icy roads are expected on the summits, where temperatures are nearing the freezing mark, along with snow and rain, according to Weather.com. “Fog, ice, clouds and high humidity will continue to plague the summit through the night,” Mauna Kea Weather Center’s forecasters wrote Tuesday evening.
