Snow on Mauna Kea

I know this is not a science article, but this winter we've received more snow on Mauna Kea than we have for many years past. One recent storm deposited 6" of snow at Hale Pohaku, and twice this winter (so far) the white stuff was seen on the ground almost as far down as the saddle. Check out our photo gallery of recent (and not-so-recent) pictures of the summit, the telescope, and other sights. And while you're at it, why not take a Virtual Tour of the JCMT, courtesy of Robin Phillips?
