July 6 Chad and I took a trip over to Mt. Washington, NH, the highest peak in the northeast, 6288'. In April of 1934, observers measured a wind gust of 231 mph, which remains a world record for a surface station. The day we were there, the base of the clouds was 400' below the summit, so we were in the clouds at the very top. It was 35 degrees, and the wind was blowing at 40 mph steady, with gusts over 50 mph. The wind chill was 4 degrees.

We were able to get some decent pictures when we were driving back down the mountain. As you can see in the second picture, there are still some areas with snow. We also did some panoramic photos, to see those click here.
