We have 8 girls on the team now, so they are practicing a bigger and newer hula dance.

well..... last year Chesapeake started off with a beautiful 70 degree day... and ended in freezing rain and sleet with snow covering the ground... so...

I think the record in Hawaii change of temp in a single day is 10 degrees or less. Cant imagine a bigger change than that.
So in conclusion, I need to bring a team t-shirt and bring snow gear just in case.
We actually have Island Snow ski and snowboarding gears in Hawaii. For the life of me, I dont know how the heck they stay in business here. I just dont get it.

Drive up to the mountains (e.g., on Kauai), it's pleanty cold up there.

Weather forecast is cold on Thurs (20s), some light snow on Friday, warming up on Saturday (75 F )

There must be a lot of astronomers stationed at the GEMINI Telescope in Hilo, I guess.
