ABC News: Snow-loha! White Stuff Hits Hawaii
Jan. 24, 2006 — A rare rush of snow and ice closed the road to the summit of Mauna Kea, the tallest volcano on the island of Hawaii, and bad weather was expected for the rest of the week, forecasters said Monday.
An unusual snowstorm over the weekend prompted officials to close the popular tourist destination for the first time this winter season.
A blanket of snow forced everyone to evacuate, including park rangers, Mauna Kea Observatories Support Services said.
“We’ve got to make sure and keep everybody healthy and safe on the summit. So, I’m closing it,” Mauna Kea ranger Kimo Pihana said.
Or, is the park ranger afraid someone will think this is a sign of global warning?

They are praying for global warming, not afraid of it. So, I say to Al Gore, you are still dumb as a rock!

Who’s praying for global warming? The people with no beach front property?

Global warming is here sped up by the acts of humans.
