You can start expecting snow there again soon too. Here is the camera up there: http://www.jach.hawaii.edu/cgi-bin/irtvid

They have the camera and temp so the astronomers can tell if the road is passable... THAT should tell you something

and the weather is at http://hokukea.soest.hawaii.edu/current/

I have photos somewhere showing the 6' drifts...
