\"telescopesThis week\u2019s UH<\/abbr> News<\/em> Images of the Week are from the UH<\/abbr> Hilo Center for Maunakea Stewardship<\/a> (CMS<\/abbr>).<\/p>\n

In early January, the summit of Maunakea received about 8\u201310 inches of snowfall. The CMS<\/abbr> utilities crew worked to clear the snow with a snow blower, two snow plows and a frontend loader. The Maunakea Rangers would like to remind visitors that while snow in Hawai\u02bbi<\/span> is amazing, the conditions at the summit can be dangerous. They have already helped visitors and staff evacuate down the mauna, and recommend waiting for better weather conditions to experience Maunakea.<\/p>\n

You can view the snow on the summit via webcams on the Maunakea Weather Center website<\/a>.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_masonry_media_grid element_width=”6″ css=”” grid_id=”vc_gid:1767751165124-2810313e-af3c-0″ include=”227917,227838″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\n
