 The observatory on Mauna Kea sits at 4,200 meters or 13,780 feet above sea level. Snow is not uncommon for this Hawaiian mountain top.

 I speak from experience when I say no, no it is not uncommon. Still, very good representation of all these pictures! Have you been here?

 My wife and I were on Mauna Kea (and it got cold!) in 2009. We didn't go all the way to the top. We did stop at the visitor's area and look through those telescopes. At that elevation, the stars don't "twinkle". They are solid. It was so inspiring!

 If I had the means, I'd live in Kona (for the coffee). I love Hawaii!

 Rome is on my bucket list. I may never want to leave! The Borghese Gallery is my #1 goal. Bernini is my favorite of all time. You'll have to show me the best coffee spots - someday... :)
