This happens periodically in Hawaii, though, of course, the headline (which is portrayed in a similar manner at many outlets) is mean to climate fearmonger
The lower 48 U.S. states are light on snow but Hawaii has a blizzard warning
As of Friday morning, only two states in the U.S. have blizzard warnings — and they are Alaska and Hawaii. Yes, you read that correctly. In fact, more snow has fallen in Hawaii this season than in Denver, Colorado.
Hawaii’s blizzard warnings are a bit rarer. According to the Iowa mesonet data site, it’s been 1,347 days (over 3.5 years) since the last blizzard warning was been issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) in Honolulu.
The weather service is forecasting up to a foot (30 cm) of snow or more with winds gusting up to 100 mph (161 kph) through the weekend for the Big Island summits.
Hawaii’s two mountain peaks, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, both which sit at more than 13,000 feet above sea level, are the only two locations that see snow annually in Hawaii.
So, it does happen. It’s usual for the peaks to have snow every year, while blizzards are less common. So, we get

Hawaii is expecting a blizzard with up to 12" of snow and 100 mph winds. Don't tell me there's no climate change. ????????

Reminder that severe/strange winter weather events are still signs of/connection to climate change.
Unfortunately, artificial snow might be on the horizon for ski resorts for the foreseeable future.#sportecologyhttps://t.co/4TOr5OqkcI

OK, that’s enough, though there are plenty more to provide a laugh at the cultists.
I’ve gotten stuck overnight at the observatories on the Big Island and on Haleakala several times due to snow in the 90’s and early 00’s. One of our guys slid off the icy road on Haleakala and rolled his car and was injured.
Only a fool thinks weather is climate change.
