Was on the weather.gov page and saw blizzard warnings in Hawaii of all places (NWS - Honolulu). Obviously this is for elevations above 8000 feet, but just weird to see something like that there of all places...
A good buddy of mine back in Ohio just finished his stint with the Navy down there and was saying how much he missed the weather in Hawaii... I forwarded this along with the flood stuff from down there and told him he was probably better off in Ohio! LOL
