Weather on the big rock pile
If you've always been fascinated by the way Mount Washington generates its own weather--mostly bad weather it seems, and mostly when I'm hiking up it!--then you may be interested in the program tomorrow night at 7PM at the Falmouth Memorial Library in Falmouth.
Life at the Top of Mount Washington: Weathering the World's Worst Weather will be presented by former Mount Washington Observatory weather observer and current WGME meteorologist Sarah Long.
And what do you know? April 12th is the anniversary of the world record setting wind speed day on Mount Washington, recorded at 231 MPH in 1934! That's quite a gust, eh?!
Should be a fun and informative program. RSVP requested. To do so, call 603-356-2137 or email mnester@mountwashington.org.
See you there...
By the way, if you've never seen Breakfast of Champions, you can purchase the DVD, or check it out the next time you're in the Mt. Washington summit museum (it plays continously). It's a hilarious short video of coping with the mountain's high winds.
