Winter Storm in South Hawaii, Hawaii

Winter Storm February 28, 2004 – February 29, 2004 · South Hawaii, Hawaii

The wider storm

A cold front moving through the Hawaiian Islands helped generate winter storm conditions at and near the summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii, and at and near the summit of Haleakala in Maui. More than 6 inches of snow fell within 12 hours in each locale, and southwest winds were sustained at over 40 mph for long stretches of time. Thus, visibilities were reduced below a quarter of a mile for periods that exceeded 3 hours. However, no serious property damage or injuries were reported.
