The World's Worst Weather

Here is a webcam image and weather observations for this morning at Mt Washington, NH. Note the extreme temperatures and wind on the summit conditions and the near white-out conditions indicated by the web cam.


Mount Washington, "Home of the World's Worst Weather"TM , routinely observes the combination of extreme cold, wet, high winds, icing conditions and low visibility. The Observatory's mission is "to maintain a 24 hour record of the weather conditions on the summit of Mount Washington, while taking advantage of its unique conditions to conduct important scientific research. In addition, the Observatory helps promote an awareness of mountain weather and the fragile mountain environment by providing a variety of educational programs and public services."



I don't know about you, but I am ready to suit up in my cold weather gear and experience the weather at the summit of Mt. Washington! The Mt. Washington Observatory does hire meteorologists to take weather observations, forecast for the local area, and to conduct educational outreach for the Mt. Washington Observatory. Definitely a cool (maybe cold, chilly, frigid) job for a young meteorologist right out of college.
