Snowfall in Hawaii? In certain mountainous regions, it happens every year. In fact, the Big Island is under a blizzard warning until this Sunday — with forecasters expecting up to 12 inches of snow. Swipe right to see some snowy photos from the islands in years past. From left: 1. Black volcanic cinders are covered with a dusting of snow at the Polipoli State Recreation area in Maui in February 2019. 2. Snow is seen on the summit of Mauna Kea in October 2008. 3. The Big Island woke up to blue skies, sunshine and snow in December 2003. 4. The astronomy observatories atop the snow-capped mountain of Mauna Kea are seen in January 2009 near Hilo, Hawaii. Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano and home to an astronomy community. A plume of smoke from the Halema'uma'u crater at Volcanoes National Park can be seen in the background. 📷: @apnews, Tim Wright/Honolulu Advertiser #hawaii #snow
