Cool fact: Earlier this year, Mt. Washington set a record for the coldest wind chill in US history at 46.9 degrees below zero.

Nice but you can say something with the cool fact or fun fact thing. Thanks.

You should come down to the sw part of NH and do a video on Mt Monadnock , the 2nd most climbed mountain in the world.

The Mount Washington Observatory on an icy winter day. It was here that a wind gust of 231 mph was measured on April 12, 1934. It remained the highest-ever anemometer-measured wind gust on Earth until an even higher gust was observed on Barrow Island, Australia, in 1996.

Driving your car up the mountain is expensive I never did the train up the mountain just by car but it was well worth the money. Too bad Mobleinstinct did not film the cool museum at the base of the mountain on the auto road

The first turnout or switch for the Mt. Washington Cog RR was designed by the owner-operator of the railroad while he was in Europe fighting in WWII. Prior to that the railroad only had the transfer table at the base station and operated all trains in a row. The turnouts had 9 separate pieces to move to facilitate changing the direction the train would go. We passed through Crawford Notch in November of 1982 on our way to Conway, NH for a T.R.A.I.N. Convention.

10 years ago I lived a few miles from Mount Washington for 2 years. Beautiful area when the sun is out, HA, which isnt very often. ha First time I went up the Cog Rail I was 8 years and I was petrified we were all going to crash and die. 🤣

@mkervelegan Жыл бұрын

A very expensive excursion. We take the shortcut up Huntingdon's Ravine and climb straight up the cliff (free climb, no ropes). An unforgettable thrill and the view from atop Mt Washington encompasses the Atlantic and Montreal on clear days. Just bring a fur hat and gloves if you have them.

That moose hasn't moved in a 100 years 😁 The record wind speed was recorded as the anonometer broke away, so the actual wind speed may have been higher.
