RE: Geography gaffe

A friend commented:
There's a trick.  The temperature reading below 32 degrees F in Hawaii was at the peak of Mauna Kea, 13,800 feet above sea level.

OK, so technically they're correct.

But I refute it using a technique employed by Al Sleet, the Hippy-Dippy Weatherman:
"The temperature at the peak of Mauna Kea is below 32 degrees... which is stupid, man, cause I don't know anyone who lives on a mountain peak."

At least five people have died in New York after a huge storm dumped 5ft (1.5m) of snow in parts of the state.

Temperatures across all 50 US states plummeted to freezing, and there were several snow-related deaths elsewhere.

All 50 states?

Ummm, I don't think it's freezing in Hawaii.
