Mt. Washington

These conditions are nearly lethal for humans.

On April 12, 1934, on Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, history was made when the wind on the top of the Northeast's tallest peak hit 231 miles per hour.

Extraordinary photos from the summit of Mount Washington give off the illusion of a cloud ocean.

Mt. Washington offers far more than I ever imagined. Add it to your summer (fall, winter, or spring!) bucket list!

It certainly feels like winter in New England recently. After a pretty warm start to January- a top 10 warmest-ever January in fact-we are back in the bitter cold, with (finally) some snow in the forecast. Now, we all live here in New England because we think of winter as a great adventure, right? Well, if you really want a winter adventure, then venture up 6288 feet to the top of Mt. Washington where you will find the "worst weather on Earth." Check out the video posted this week from the great folks up at the Mt Washington Observatory.

Today, conditions were perfect to "catch" some snowflakes.

Mt Washinton, New Hampshire. 6,288 feet high. One a clear day you can see as far as 130 miles to Maine, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Quebec, and the Atlantic Ocean. The Auto Road up to the top is a scary, but wicked fun and beautiful trip. Of course, if it's a mountain, then people have to see how quickly they can walk, run, bike, and drive up to the summit. Here are the records for getting to the top according to the fine folks at the Mt Washington Auto Road

How ironic!

This trail is not for the faint of heart.

Happy June! It might be in the '70s and '80s for you in the next few days, but it's still, believe it or not, snowing on the top of Mt. Washington. The top of Mt Washington (6288 feet high) is famously known as "Home of the World's Worst Weather."

Let's face it. Cabin fever has set in for most of us, but there's really no where to go. How about a drive? I feel like the Sunday drive, which we used to do a lot when i was a little kid, is coming back in a big way.

From Thursday morning through Sunday afternoon, the Granite State could see a 70 degree swing in 'real feel' temperatures.

A huge November cold snap foreshadows what might be on the horizon for winter in New Hampshire.

Heading into mid August, the last little bit can be found in the Tuckerman Ravine area.

We certainly had some wicked thunderstorms move through in the past 24 hours. Many lost power! It always looks pretty cool on top of Mt. Washington, but can you imagine watching a thunderstorm up there? The great folks at the Observatory caught a good strike on Thursday night.

The world famous train mountain train was simply celebrating it's 150th anniversary, when it was thrown into action rescuing an injured hiker.
