oldroy Loc: Western Kansas (No longer in hiding)

The snow storm on the peaks of Hawaii is reaching epic proportions, which bothers me. Of course, c*****e c****ers think this is something they talk about all the time. What if glaciers form our those mountains? Come on warmers and explain this happening to dummies like me.

I got a real kick out of reading how you had to get to the top so you could ski. I don't think I want to live there.

There has been 30 to 36 inches in recent winters, according to Ryan Lyman, forecast meteorologist with the Mauna Kea Weather Center.

Making something out of nothing at 11000 feet.

So you haven't noticed that it is getting down to 9000 ft. That doesn't mean anything to a leaner like you does it?

You can get snow flurries in southern California, and 80 degree weather the next day.

Please follow: the warmer the overall climate, and oceans, the more possibility of precipitation everywhere. A snowball does not debunk c*****e c****e, no matter where you mitten it.

Weather is complex, to say the least, but to take this happening in Hawaii as ipso facto proof either way is questionable.

My son was in Hawaii a couple of winters ago and wanted to move there because he was sure he wouldn't have to put up with the changes we have here in western Kansas.

I never hear any leaners talking about the fact that our summer weather here counts on the temperature of the deeper parts of the Pacific Ocean. I guess that means that if it doesn't fit what they think it can't be involved.

The polar ice caps are just as healthy as ever. No g****l w*****g there. You people really crack me up. They really suckered you, didn't they.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I went to Hawaii in the 80's, there were traces of snow in the mountains in August. I ear that the skiing is great. Freeze to death for a couple of hours and the warm on the beach at 80's.

According to Ken Rubin, an assistant professor of geology and geophysics at the University of Hawaii, "It snows here every year, but only at the very summits of our three tallest volcanoes (Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea and Haleakala).

"The snow level almost never gets below 9,000 feet in Hawaii during the winter, but since these mountains are taller than 13,600 feet, 13,700 feet and 10,000 feet, respectively, they get dusted with snow a few times a year," he added. "It rarely stays on the ground for more than a few days though."

In fact, it even snowed atop the summits in late July 2015.

Technically, it is possible to ski in Hawaii, but there are a lot of caveats.

Mauna Kea Ski Corporation explains that "Mauna Kea is a National Science Reserve and is not maintained as a ski area. Skiing areas may have unmarked and exposed rocks. Adverse weather conditions may arise unexpectedly ... most runs are for intermediate to advanced skiers/snowboarders ... weather permitting."

In addition, the Hawaii Ski Club cautions potential skiers that "there are no lifts, no g***ming, no resort, but a road goes to the summit to serve the dozen or so world-class observatories located at the summit. You must have a 4-wheel drive vehicle to get to the summit, which serves as your 'lift.'" The club adds that skiers take turns being the driver, picking up the other skiers at the bottom of the runs and ferrying them up to the summit.

"Conditions at the top are extremely variable. Winter temperatures range from 25 to 40 degrees, but wind chill and the high altitude can make it seem much colder. Between April and November the weather is milder, with daytime temperatures varying from 30 to 60 degrees."

I have been to the summit of Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea and Haleakala during summer months and if you don't wear a warm jacket or coat you'll freeze your ass off.

Mostly they'll be saying " we told you so ". Get over the Global warning label already, which is only one byproduct of c*****e c****e. Whenever the normal temperature rises over a significant period of time, w*****r p*****ns change as a result, this is called "c*****e c****e" - and has a cascade effect all around the world.

If snow in HI is not a symptom of c*****e c****e, one that was predicted years ago - then Trump is a closet liberal.

ipnmajor-don't believe anyone questions C*****e C****e per se, but many have doubts that it is caused by man. As usual the answer probably lies in "following the money". Good Luck America !!!

There are many factors but man has accelerated the process greatly.
