5.3 inches of snow fell in the Rockford area on Sunday, which is close to a record for Rockford.

So are you making your flight arrangements for Hawaii yet? You might want to hold off on that for a bit.
According to USA TODAY Hawaii got hit with a bunch of white stuff and could get a total on two feet of snow with dangerous winds. A winter storm warning was  in effect for the summits of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Hawaii, snow fall. What is the world is going on!

 The only other area of Hawaii that gets snow with any regularity is the Haleakalā volcano on Maui, which at about 10,000 feet gets snow once every five years or so. - Matthew Foster staff meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Honolulu

So if you plan on making travel arrangements for the new year, your best bet is to check with your travel agent and your favorite weather person too.
