5-minute PACUS Sector GOES-18 (GOES-West) True Color RGB images from the CSPP GeoSphere site (above) displayed the bright white signature of fresh snow cover on the summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawai`i on 1st February and 2nd February 2025. This snowfall occurred as a strong storm brought severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall to parts of the island chain on 30-31 January.

30-meter resolution Landsat-8 “Natural Color” RGB imagery from the RealEarth site (below) provided a more detailed view of the snow cover (brighter shades of cyan) on 1st February.
