A winter storm in Hawaii has produced strong winds, high surf, and yes, even snow-Nik Puri
Winter Storms aren't common and are unheard of in the state of Hawaii. This storm consisted of gusty winds, rain, high surf, and even snow. Trees and branches were blown on the roads, and caused power outages across the Hawaiian Islands. The DLNR reported, "For the first time ever, snow has fallen in a Hawaii State Park. Polipoli State Park on Maui is covered with snow and could be the lowest elevant snow ever recorded in the state. Furthermore, the National Weather Service in Honolulu issued a wind advisory in effect until noon HST. Wind Speeds were recorded at 25-40 mph and there were reports of wind speeds above 50 and 60 mph.
