    My father and fellow winter mountaineering companions were caught in a terrible winter storm one year up on Mt. Washington. This was in the late 60’s before any personal tech. Instinct and experience told him to find the observatory and abandon their igloos as the storm was going to get much worse. It did. The observatory was closed at the time and it was a more primitive structure back then. They broke in and it saved their lives. It was a 4 day white-out with -50 windchills. Incredibly, my dad’s dog, who had gotten separated in the white-out conditions was found alive as they left the station. He had curled up in a snow bank on the leeward side of the station and was completely encased in snow… but alive. They probably would have all perished if not for the observatory. Good to see so many young people working there now and it looks incredibly well appointed now compared to back in the day!

      @@jackie-k My guess is that it wasn't any warm fir that saved that pet dog, it was it's own warm love for it's owner and maybe even God's angels guarding over it. Otherwise it would have frozen solid, and quickly. I was caught in a surprise drop in temperature and a sudden blizzard I didn't know was about to come. I was hitchhiking just outside of Cheyanne Wyoming and decided to start walking down the interstate. The sun was out, so why not? Then it grew dark and the temperature suddenly dropped 70 degrees and the horizontal snow started pelting me. I hunkered down and the snow kept covering me. I could only stick out my arm when truck slowly went by. The first few couldn't even see me, but finally one did and stopped for me. I could feel myself trying to freeze solid. Another five or ten minutes and I would have been a statistic, another article in the papers. That dog surviving was a miracle.

    The wild part is that in the grand scheme of things, Mt Washington isn’t all that tall. El Capitain in Yosemite is 1,000 feet higher at 7,569, and most of the High Sierra range is over 9,000 feet. Pike’s Peak more than double the height of Mt Washington at 14,115 feet. But the weather patterns of New England help make Mt Washington the icon it is for weather events.

    I was a lighthouse keeper off Cape Ann & Boston lights. It was the 70’s and the lights were called stag lights (no women). One of the never ending jobs was taking weather reading every 4 hours. The only difference was we also had to report the sea state. Of all my jobs in the Coast Guard this is what I enjoyed most. 2 weeks on 1 week off. Alone with on other person and a dog. I can somewhat relate to these people. I called it my escape from civilization. Best of luck and keep that weather coming.

    I went to the highest spot in West Virginia years ago. The top was covered with a cloud. I had a blue jean jacket on. I walked out to and up on to the observation tower. My jacket was flapping like I was riding a motorcycle. The wind speed was nowhere as high as the ones in this video. I could feel the heat leaving me, so I went back to the vehicle. It was really cool!!!!! I think it is around 4,800 feet up. You can see all the way to Virginia from there on a clear day.
    This is a great video thanks to everyone involved. My hat is off to these observers!!! But not for long, too cold! THANKS.

    As reporters, it might be a good idea to let people know exactly where Mount Washington Observatory is. An outsider watching this UA-cam video might assume that it is in Maine. I had to look it up and observed that it was actually located in New Hampshire. If I have to look up its actual location - a pretty basic and important piece of information - then why do we need these reporters?

      Hey Paco! I looked into this for you. About 8 years ago the observatory was connected to the valleys electrical grid. However, prior to that and now as a backup the observatory was powered by diesel generators. The system has been upgraded now. There is about 2 hours of UPS battery power however if the grid pops off this is only used for about 10-15 seconds. The diesel gensets immediately start and pickup the load. The UPS is only really used so there is ZERO power loss. Shits awesome son. huehuehuehuehuehuehue

    That is so awesome! It felt like I was actually up there, too. I wish I could be there for several long weeks. I'd leave with friends I knew well and good, I'll wager. I do honestly know what it feels like to brave a hurricane's 100 MPH winds and rain pellets though. It was on Galveston Island in the 70's. Two friends asked me if I wanted to go to the seawall and watch one of them fly like a flag from a street sign pole. I ended up doing it also. Then, as they both had hunkered across the street behind a cement sign at a gas station, listening with a transistor radio pressed tightly to their ears for the reported wind speed, I had walked the best I could, step by step back to the seawall where I could barely tell the ground from the Gulf of Mexico. I had to lean forward with all my might just like that one guy in the video had done. I could tell I wasn't going to fall over though. I told my friends to wave their arms as a signal when the radio had said the winds reached 100 MPH. It was 95 when I had ventured back across the street. The rain hitting me had felt just like bb gun pellets. When I saw them waving at me, I let the wind carry me back to the sign post where I grabbed it and flew like a flag again. But then I was afraid to let go. I just knew the strong wind would carry me off, maybe even high up into the air and I'd be gone gone gone! When I finally did let go, the wind took me half way across Seawall Boulevard where I finally crashed to the ground and I just rolled the rest of the way to where my two friends were still hunkering. Then, we had to walk a few blocks back home as roof shingles and branches tried their best to hurt us. We made it without too much blood involved. I was the most damaged because of that rolling on the asphalt street bit. But I earned these "bragging rights" honestly. It's why I'm so "long winded" with my comment, even! I live in Portland, Maine now. I've been here for 26 years come next May.

    Back in the early 1970's, I drove from Toronto to North Conway NH in the dead of winter. All the way, the roads were snow covered and icy with blizzard cross winds for most of the first two thirds of the journey. My drive finally took me up and over Mt.Washington in a blizzard in the middle of the night. The roads were not ploughed and the snow was so deep, about 3 feet, that all the way down the mountain that it billowed up and over the hood of my full sized Oldsmobile as I ploughed my way down for hours in the darkness In hindsight, it was a terribly dangerous and arduous drive over the mountain that I made as a young and foolishly determined man. Today, more than 5 decades later I still remember that journey in detail and know it was by the grace of God that I survived it in the first place.

    Poor babies. While in the military I spent eight years in the Mediterranean ocean and the Pacific Ocean in the north Atlantic ocean six to nine months at a time so don’t tell me about being away from home you babies you can call home.

    Volunteers is the key word in that report. No one at the station is paid? Those people do that for no salary? Then they kick in to buy groceries too? Maine is a state with some unique people, with a need to volunteer as their main hobby. (pun intended)
