Beh non è affatto una cosa comune che nevichi alle Hawaii a 2800 m, in inverno ci nevica, ma sopra i 3000-3500
Gli "esperti" dicono cose un po' diverse.

According to Ken Rubin, an assistant professor of geology and geophysics at the University of Hawaii, "It snows here every year, but only at the very summits of our three tallest volcanoes (Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea and Haleakala)."The snow level almost never gets below 9,000 feet in Hawaii during the winter, but since these mountains are taller than 13,600 feet, 13,700 feet and 10,000 feet, respectively, they get dusted with snow a few times a year," he added. "It rarely stays on the ground for more than a few days though."In fact, it even snowed atop the summits in late July 2015.
Il limite delle precipitazioni nevose in inverno è quindi 2700 m (9000 piedi). Sotto questo valore in inverno è un evento eccezionale. In estate può nevicare solo sulle cime.
