El Nino and Blizzard in Hawaii

Blizzard warning in effect for Big Island summits like Mauna Kea until Thursday evening HST. Wind gusts up to 80 mph along with accumulations of 5-8".

While it's not uncommon for the summits of Hawaii to receive snow, it still takes my breath away when I read a winter message coming from the Island of Paradise.

Well, it is official. We have El Nino. Perhaps a little too late in the season to help the drought-strickened west but El Nino nonetheless.

This event is much weaker than previous events.

From a global perspective, precipitation patterns for the March through May period generally show a drier pattern around here in Kentucky.

Hmmm, not off to a good start as I look around my neighborhood. This El Nino is so weak right now as to not even exist at all. Might as well be a lonely flea at a packed  Dallas' ATT stadium.
