08:22 AM Sun Jan 7th
Yesterday, with the lack of snow up here, true winter depression had set in. Being on the summit of Mount Washington and not seeing any snow in January is very disheartening. Then waking up to the temperature in the forties yesterday was just the icing on the cake. Last night, with winds up in the eighties Jim took Brent and I outside to test our sea (actually- wind) legs. Luckily for us, the tower blocked the brunt of the wind and all the ice had melted off the deck, so we did considerably well.
It was nice to wake up this morning and not be able to see out of the windows because of all the rime ice build up. It is beginning to feel a little like winter again. Hopefully, today will usher in a new trend of weather as a high pressure system moves into the area (what harm can a little bit of positive thinking do), and we can get rid of all the slush puddles that have been all over the summit the past couple of days.
******************************
Observer Note: Yesterday the summit broke the daily record high, with a temperature of 43 degrees. This broke the old record of 37, set in 1946. This was only 4 degrees below the all time high for January of 47, set on January 19th, 1995.

Edutrip
The last time I was up on the summit was for "Seek the Peak" weekend on July 22nd, 2006. This was about 6 months ago in the heart of summer and the temperature was only 50 F. when I left the summit at 1pm. Today in the heart of winter I went out for my morning stroll around the summit it was a balmy 39 F.! Where did winter go? I come here to experience Mother Nature's extremes, but it still eludes me. I was however fortunate enough to experience my first walk in hurricane force winds during my stroll, as the winds topped out around 95mph in gusts!
I am up here as part of the Observatory's EduTrip program. This trip combined 3 of my passions. The mountains, extreme weather, and photography. Our trip leader Ned Therrien and accomplished photographer gave us all some great knowledge we will take with us wherever we may take our cameras around the globe. This is now my 4th EduTrip and it won't be my last. It is a great escape and an adventure, and the proceeds go to the Mount Washington Observatory, a non-profit organization. I encourage all with any curiosity, which includes all of you since your visiting this website to come up for an Edutrip. (By the way there are 15,000 others who visit this site daily)

Observer note: The daily record high for today, January 6th was broken this morning, so far the high of 42F breaks the old high of 37F set in 1946. Yesterday's daily high remained intact by one degree.
