Speaking of Winter in New Hampshire, these folks have been managing to get their hikes in before the big storms arrive. Some nice views from the top of Mt Washington Yesterday.

Oh, tempestuous chill of winter air
Your icy touch and freezing stare
So powerful and strong
You rolled in all night long
Leaving a trail of sorrow everywhere

That is true arctic air right here. The only reason why it even got that cold was because they weren't in the troposphere they were in the stratosphere which is the coldest layer. #weather #MountWashington

Incredibly brutal #weather on top of #MountWashington in #NewHampshire tonight. Record-setting low temp of -46°F, winds over 100 mph, and apparently the coldest wind chill ever recorded on U.S. soil. #wx

New England is currently getting assaulted with an arctic blast. The Mount Washington Weather Observatory is reporting some truly unreal and life-threatening conditions. At this point it's probably colder than Antarctica.

-41.9*F and 95MPH winds.
