Summer Snow Falls on Mauna Kea after Al Gore’s “24-Hours of Reality” broadcasts from Hawaii

The Lieutenant Governor didn’t mention “summer snow”, but that is exactly what Hawaii received. By sunrise, the crown of Mauna Kea--clearly visible across the saddle from the CO2 observatory on Mauna Loa--was dusted with about an inch of the white stuff.

Time-lapse video taken in the tropical moonlight shows snowfall at the Mauna Kea Astronomical Observatories beginning about 3AM Thursday morning—Hour 14 of the Gore “Reality Show.”
