Actually snowing pretty good here right now in this narrow weenie band.

These actual forecast maps for that region are SICK!

Chatted with my family in Kona and they are getting absolutely hammered by the Kona storm rn. Power out since yesterday. Multiple trees down up and down the coast..West and East side of the island....up to 20 inches of rain on the Southeast/Hilo side of the island expected to fall. And not expected to ease up until Monday. Been watching the radar, they've been pummeled by training severe storms for couple days now. My son and I are scheduled to fly out tomorrow morning. Seriously wondering if we'll be able to get out there.

The past two winters a WATCH issuance has simply meant "Watch this storm miss you in the end" Meanwhile, GRR has written this off as a nuisance winter fringing up here and ignoring their snowfall maps. WWA and afd saying 2-4" yet their latest snowfall map (2:15 pm) still showing 6-8" here. What a disconnected office that is.

Nothing yet lol. I’m sure he will have to address it. To be fair most of us even were very skeptical about getting much down to sea level. I was thinking 1/2” at best down to sea level and maybe 1-2” at 200-500’. I think we all were pretty certain the night before that there was going to be some accumulation for many people atleast. There were a lot of places at sea level in the heart of the heaviest snow that still got a couple inches.
