It’s not uncommon to see snow on the higher up parts of the mountains on the Big Island, when flying in in the winter months.

Thanks for this interesting diversion from the usual depressing issues of the day.
Being only about 30 miles, as the crow flies, from the summit of Mauna Loa I can attest to the likelihood of significant snow accumulation on the peak. It has been raining here nonstop for the past 12 hours with no end in sight. And the temperature has yet to reach 70 degrees today.
Contrast that to our recent location in the US Southwest where there has been virtually no precipitation all winter and severe drought conditions exist.
The cause of both extremes is likely the strong La Nina now in effect, the opposite of El Nino.

Hi Mike.
Thankfully, the NOAA radar shows the storm moving away from you now.

Hello there. We are planning to spend Thanksgiving 2020 in Oahu. I was hoping you could please give some pointers on when to purchase round trip airfare (obviously not looking for a “deal”, just don’t want to pay more than necessary).
We would fly out of a CA west coast airport (San Jose, Oakland, SFO or Sacramento) on Sunday November 22, 2020 into HNL, returning Friday, November 27, 2020.
Thank you!

Hi Richelle.
Probably safest to book on availability. If you’ll be flying SWA, that’s a ways away since they don’t release tickets as early as other airlines. Guesstimate on pricing for your dates is about $500.
Aloha.
