That's not really surprising, is it? I thought the summits of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea were typically snowcapped for parts of the year.

It's the rest of it. They actually have winter storm warnings for Saturday there! :biggrin:
That article mentions frozen fog. I don't think I've ever encountered that before.

I have. We usually get it at least one a season. Nasty stuff, especially if your wipers are crappy and you are out of windshield washer fluid. . .Or have the summer formula in the tank. :yes: :icon_evil:
The trees get coated in ice from it too, and when it's thick enough the trees start shedding limbs onto the power lines. . . :biggrin:
Well we don't have anything frozen in Florida. :razz:

I've never encountered it. Freezing rain and sleet are bad enough.
