953 nut 62,958 #2 Posted November 27 I went up to the top of Mt. Washington on the Cog Train. It was a cloudy day at the bottom but once we got above the clouds it was bright and sunny. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife's sister was working at the hotel at the time. It was sunny on the base of the MT. Fog and mist on top. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no intention of being at the top again. Did the Cog too. The ride was far better than the top. We had the distinct pleasure of having a tour leader who was part Native American and a born n raised local. Her insights were.... unique... to say the least. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mt Washington is the only place in the United States east of the Mississippi River that has seen recordable snow in ALL TWELVE calendar months. I've seen the white peak from the valley during the summer. Crazy to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 15,108 #7 Posted November 27 Hiked up the icy Lion’s Head through sleet and freezing fog cautiously going from cairn to cairn. Icicles in my beard. 25 degrees and 30mph gusts at the top and tourists who drove up were shivering in shorts, tees, and flip flops! What an experience! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
