Hawaii may be known for sunny beaches, but it's not that unusual for the state to get snow a few times a year. However, that's usually limited to its highest points, such as Mauna Kea, which rises nearly 14,000 feet in elevation, reports SFGate. Snow rarely is seen below 10,000 feet—until now. A nasty storm has left accumulations at 6,200 feet in the Polipoli State Recreation Area in Maui, which meteorologists believe is the lowest-elevation snowfall ever recorded in the state. The storm also brought gusts of 70mph, and coastal areas are bracing for flooding, reports the AP. (More Hawaii stories.)
