I haven't written any posts about the Mount Washington Observatory lately. I decided to rectify that today, and in going thru the Observer Comments, found that a reporters from the Hartford Courant had been up there this week and put together quite the video tour.
If you click on a number (blue circles), it will produce a short vidoe. My favorites were 9 (Cog Railway Station) and #7 (Observatory / Summit). If you watch the Cog Railroad video, rest assured that all the film was taken on the same day. It is sunny and warm in the valley - cold, cloudy and windy up top. WS and I went up there about 11 years ago under similar conditions. Make sure to turn on your speakers , as most of the videos have interviews or narration.
See the idiots in shorts? They don't pay attention to the signs that say dress warmly. The all-time high temperature for the mountain is somewhere around 72 degrees (F). It is almost always windy and the weather is very erratic up there too.
I'll leave this with a picture that I got off the MWO website:
The MWO always comes through with spectacular shots. The one you post, here, is no exception. Beautiful!
