Insane temps !

Adventurous and/or curious people go up Mt. Washington once. Most of them come back.
No one in his right mind goes up twice, unless his/her job depends upon it.
And that's in the summer.

Once spent a night outside at -65 F with the wind blowing 30+. Windchill way off the bottom corner of the chart. Didn't sleep well that night.

In winter of 79/80, while working on the Trans Alaska Pipeline at Pump Station #10, we had a chinook move in that brought 80 mph winds and -125f chill factor for 3 days. All we did for those 3 days was keep the generators running and the boilers working, those are called Life Support for a good reason. :old:

Snow in the Sahara desert. 15 inches. :D
I rode my bicycle up and down Mt Washington.
It was summer.
I only did it once.

the only people who will go up there over and over are the once who do Arctic expiration or climb ultra high mountains like K2 and Mt Everest. Mount Washington is the premier spot these type of people go to do training in the winter due to the harsh winter conditions that are simulater to the arctics and ultra high mountains.

On clear days I can see Mt. Washington from a ridgetop my road.
Driving up Washington is fun. They have pull offs on the way down so you can let your brakes cool.
Hiking up in the summer isn't too bad, it takes about a day for the round trip. It is MUCH easier than Katahdin, the most impressive New England peak IMHO.
If you get the chance to take the cog train up, that's pretty neat too.

It is going to be around 37 degrees here tomorrow night. Bone chilling for us Texans. :D

We had 3 days of temps in the 20's. A couple of mornings right at 20F. Pretty chilly for North Texas.

We understand that you live in a hostile climate. I've been there in the summer, so I know. Enjoy what winter is supposed to be like. Think of it as a once-in-a-lifetime treat.

My father, who grew up in Michigan, said the coldest he'd ever been was was one winter in North Korea in 1951.
