I think I'll stay home.

The vicious 60-mph winds have not materialized here in eastern Honolulu (or in southeastern Oahu in general). But there's one place I'd rather not be in Hawaii, and that's the top of Mauna Kea. 

According to the Mauna Kea Weather Center, the observatories up at the top of the 13,796-foot peak are experiencing not just subfreezing temperatures right now, but also winds up to 88 mph. Yikes. 

At some point I'd like to visit the Big Island's highest volcanoes when there's snow (which is often from November to March) or on Maui's Haleakala, but that kind of cold and wind is reminding me a bit too much of Seoul.
