Mount Washington, New Hampshire 2008 March 21-24

Since I did not want the 42 inches of snow wasted, I headed back to Mount Washington with Lynne this time. Our first day of snow shoeing was on 12 inches of fresh now with drifts up to 18 inches. It was a little cold with wind guests up to 50MPH and a temperature of -20F with the wind chill.

Mount Washington, New Hampshire 2008 March 8-10

These pictures are from my stay at the Mount Washington Weather Observatory from March 8-10, 2008. The Observatory is on the top Mount Washington, New Hampshire. While the elevation is only 6288 feet, the mountain gets some of the worst weather in the world. It could not have been better. It’s not often one gets to be in 114 mph winds and

-45 F temperature with the wind chill factor.
