That is not true. It can snow there, but it is nominal and usually melts off quickly. I was there in Dec '09 and in talking to people who live upcountry on the slopes of the volcano it snowed very lightly the prior winter -- around February of '09.
Yes, it can snow in Haleakala on the island of Maui in Hawaii. The summit of Haleakala reaches over 10,000 feet in elevation, where temperatures can drop low enough for snow to fall, especially during the winter months. Snow is relatively rare but does occur occasionally.

Haleakala is the name of the tall shield volcano of East Maui. Therefor, there would be no population of Haleakala since it is not a town, village, or city. Though there are several towns that are located at the lower regions of Haleakala, each with its own population.
None. Haleakala, like all the other volcanoes of Hawaii, formed over a hot spot.
Haleakala's current elevation is 10,023 feet. However, it is believed that Haleakala was once possibly over 15000ft high. Haleakala is believed to have lost elevation not because of a volcanic explosion, but because of wind, water, and glacial erosion.
