WRONG!!!
Hawaii may be the only state beside Alaska that has year round snow.
Mauna Kea at 14,000' gets snow all year and is skiiable right now.
Been there done that but I'm too fat now to fit in the T-shirt.

Maybe a note to msnbc is in order. Mauna Kea. Definitely snow covered. Yes, one nation, under snow.

The idea of 50 states with snow is so strange that the federal office that collects weather statistics doesn't keep track of that number and can't say whether it has ever happened. The office can't even say whether 49 out of 50 has ever taken place before.
Hawaii's 13,800-foot Mauna Kea volcano, which often gets snow much of the year at its higher elevations, is the most likely place in the 50th state to have snow, but there "is nothing right now," said research meteorologist Tiziana Cherubini at the Mauna Kea Weather Center. It has been a few weeks since there has been snow in the mountains, and none is in the forecast, ruining a perfect 50-for-50, she said.
