夏威夷的Mauna Kea山降雪两英寸, 2 inches of snow fall on Hawaii's Mauna Kea mountain, a rare winter event due to its elevation.

哈瓦伊州的Mauna Kea是该州最高的山峰,本周降雪量约为2英寸, Hawaii's Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain in the state, received about 2 inches of snow this week, creating a winter wonderland at its summit. 这种降雪是罕见的,但在潮湿的冬季月中并不罕见,因为峰值高达13 803英尺,可以全年冷冻。 This snowfall is rare but not unusual during the wetter winter months, as the peak's elevation of 13,803 feet allows for year-round freezing temperatures. 这一事件是由带来更冷的空气和湿度的上层扰动引起的。 The event was caused by an upper-level disturbance bringing colder air and moisture. Mauna Keea是夏威夷原住民的圣物,是几个天文观测站的东道主。 Mauna Kea is sacred to Native Hawaiians and hosts several astronomical observatories.
