“Rare” Snowfall Hits Maui for Fourth Year in a row
February 5, 2021 Cap Allon   

The summit district of Haleakalā National Park, Maui was closed on Feb. 3 and 4 due to rare wintry conditions and inches of snow, reports mauinow.com.

Rangers urged the public not to travel to the park, and closed both the road and entrance gate — locals were not permitted to see the snow or ice.


While snow occurs almost every year on the higher elevations of Hawai’i, flakes on the state’s smaller island of Maui are a much rarer sight, occurring on average just once every 5 years, according to the National Weather Service.
