For the first time in recorded history we have measurable snow in all 50 states at the same time.

For the suspicious types, back when we had 48 states we never had measurable snow in all of them either.

Sigh For the millionth time, global warming DOES NOT mean less snow, warmer weather, etc., etc.

This article, updated a few hours ago, states Hawai'i still doesn't have snow in Hawai'i...
So Hawai'i is the sole holdout

I guess USA Today didn't bother to check the top of Mt. Mauna Kea where Hawii's only snow plow has been pressed into service to open the road to the observatory.

"Record Number Ski On Mauna Kea Snow - Hawaii Editorials
Full story: Honolulu Star-Bulletin
HILO, Hawaii>> The largest group of skiers ever to climb up Mauna Kea at one time made the arduous trip up the mountain over the weekend to enjoy skiing on the new snow which fell on the slopes Friday night."

That's wild NMLM! Even the CBS news down here in Ft. Lauderdale said it was 49 states. Just goes to show you how one press company picks up a story and the others run with it without checking the facts!

You ought to fill out a Wikipedia page on it!!

Well, according to this report, it's 49, not 50. I don't want to rain on the parade, but this one refutes the 50 states status:
