Mauna Kea finally cleared today to get a view of the snow. Looks like most of it blew off the mountain from the high winds. You can see some pretty massive drifts off to the east of Canada France Hawaii Telescope

Here comes the storm! Tropical Storm Hone hasn't quite arrived but we are clocking 45mph gusts in Waimea and the summit of Mauna Kea is clocking winds of 78mph!! Hang on everyone!

Wow, barely had time to capture this before it went dark or get into a better spot for composition but worth sharing!! ...

Dusting of snow on Mauna Kea this morning!!

Looks like the lava is refilling the rift. Eruption? Possibly.

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory Activity Notice Volcanic Activity Summary:

Earthquake and ground deformation rates extending from Kīlauea summit southwest along the Koa‘e fault system have decreased significantly over the past 24 hours. The intrusion of magma into this area appears to have slowed, and the likelihood of an eruption has decreased.

Accordingly, the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) is lowering the Volcano Alert Level for ground-based hazards from WATCH to ADVISORY and the Aviation Color Code from ORANGE to YELLOW.

In total, more than 3,000 earthquakes were recorded over the past week during this event, which coincided with ground deformation patterns indicative of magma moving from beneath the summit to the southwest under the Koa‘e fault system. More information on this intrusive activity will be available in the Kīlauea daily update published later today. Additional details on this event can be found in previously published official notices:

HAWAIIAN VOLCANO OBSERVATORY STATUS REPORT

Kīlauea is not erupting. The ongoing seismic swarm continues with most earthquakes occurring beneath the Koaʻe fault zone 5-8 miles (8-12 km) southwest of Kīlauea caldera. There have been roughly 15-20 earthquakes per hour in this region for most of the day. There continue to be a few scattered earthquakes within Kīlauea caldera, but no significant clusters of activity.

Tiltmeters at Sand Hill and Uēkahuna bluff continue to show ground motion at consistent directions and rates, suggesting that the summit region is deflating as magma moves from this region to the southwest.

A significant amount of lava has been intruded south and southwest of Kīlauea caldera since Saturday, January 27th, 2024. Models suggest an accumulation of as much as 40 million cubic yards (30 million cubic meters) in the region to the southwest of the caldera during this event. As long as the intrusion continues, there is a chance that an eruption could occur within or southwest of the caldera with little advanced warning.

It’s like a blob of earthquakes. Maybe like the last swarm nothing happens? 🤷🏻‍♂️
