A lot of snow.  An unusual job in Hawaii.  Meanwhile down below I rode into work.  Nice and sunny.  82F  🤙🤙🤙

About as bad as going up Mt. Lemmon.  5000' higher with 14' snow drifts.  Yowza!!!

Judi and I opted to stay on the highway and not ride to the top on your Strada. Not because of snow. But the winds were howling!
Thanks again ! That was an awesome trip.
