Winter Weather

Winter means cold, snow, ice and hot chocolate (at least I think so) to a good portion of the mainland. Here its all about the rain, wind and surf/craft advisories, with some snow. Haleakala (on Maui) was covered in snow and the national park was closed for several days last week. This week, rain and flooding are a concern. Where we live (leeward side of Ohau) there's generally less rain, more sun and warmer temps than other parts of the island. So, we've had some rain, but mostly just clouds. The article below talks about the weather here:
