It was unusual that Hawaii has been included in the states covered with snow. Florida is the only state that did not experience winter snow. The (NWS) estimated that 70.9 percent of the country is now covered by snow.

According to James Peronto, NWS public affairs officer, last December 2010, the US had an average of 35 percent of snow on the ground. One of the unusual scenario is the presence of snow in Hawaii. NWS estimated the snow on top of Mauna Kea volcano to be about 7 inches. Hawaii also experienced heavy rains that prompt authorities to issue flash flood warning on Wednesday, January 12, 2011.

The winter storm has shut down majority of the Southern area. It caused heavy traffic and forced the cancellation of flights in the Northwest area due to heavy snowfall.
