WASHINGTON (AP) — Forty-nine states have snow now, from the Gulf Coast's Redneck Riviera to the skyscrapers of Dallas.

The lone holdout? Hawaii.

Although snow falls every winter on Hawaii's two tallest volcanoes, the National Weather Service in Honolulu said there was no snow in the state Friday.

SCIENCE FAIR: January was Earth's warmest on record

Snow had even fallen in the Florida Panhandle and along the South Carolina coast. However, snow has been lighter than usual in New England. Forecasters say El Nino has driven many of this year's storms southward.

Weather service meteorologist Brian Korty says it's extremely rare to have so many states with snow.

If snow hit Hawaii, then I'm pretty certain this will be the first time in recorded history that all 50 states will have snow at the same time.

First time in like 30 years, it has happened before. I thought there was some up on the volcano tops, though, guess not.

What snow? I haven't seen any damn snow down here. Yea yea I know Flagstaff got hit but I call shenanigans on this because I see no snow in the Phoenix/Tempe area.

Damn I miss snow (something I thought I'd never say)
