8. Snow is actually not unusual on this Hawaiian peak at 13,000 feet elevation

The big island includes 80% of the world's climate zones and snow is normal here, though this particular storm could be a bit more severe.

Mauna Loa, at 13,000 feet elevation, is more than twice the elevation of mountains where I live that occasionally get snow even at 5,000 feet.

and %80 of the World's climates through vertical elevation. I know the concept of vertical elevation climes - didn't know how much % this mountain encompassed.
