This time of year in the vast North Pacific the icy fingers of the arctic can and do probe south into the soft folds of the tropics. As the frigid air swirls and churns in great storms far out to sea, even fair Hawaii is not immune to the effects of winter’s deadly embrace. So what do we do about it? Do we sound the alarms and run for cover? Well, actually … no.

We celebrate! Children play in flooded parks, surfers test themselves in the heaviest waves of the year, and the cowboys of Waimea look up at the splendor of Mauna Kea with its glistening crown of bright snow!

Yesterday I was talking to a group of high school kids who had gone up the mountain to fill their pickup truck with fresh snow in order to build a snowman for their classmates. That is no big deal in Montana, but just try finding lumps of coal for the snowman’s eyes around here! With Hawaiian ingenuity, they were going to use little lumps of black lava for the eyes and a jalapeño pepper for the nose.

A few minutes ago my fishing buddy, Greg Kaufman, Captain of the Reel Pleasure, called let me know that there is nothing in the world quite like standing on the deck of a beautiful fishing boat in your shorts and T-shirt, fighting a mahimahi with a snow-capped 13,000-foot mountain towering over you.

Paradise may be even more beautiful that you ever thought!
