Cameras at Kea’s summit caught the event, which usually occurs in the winter months, according to Mauna Kea forecast meteorologist Ryan Lyman. Friday’s snowfall came as a thunderstorm lifted high into the atmosphere, far above the volcano’s summit of nearly 14,000 feet (4,267 meters).

 The storm combined with the freezing overnight temperatures led to the unusual phenomenon.
