Earth Changes
Check out these pictures below of sheer frozenness. It looks like everything has been dusted in powdered sugar but if only it were that sweet.
Temperatures at the summit on Wednesday, according to the New Hampshire State Parks Facebook page, were at 2 degrees but with the windchill, it was really like -30 degrees.
According to the New Hampshire State Parks, this winter wonderland was 3 inches of snowfall and wind gusts of 50-70 miles an hour.
Park Manager Patrick Hummel braved these incredible conditions to bring us these photos.
If you have kids that like the movie "Frozen" have them check out these pictures. I thought it was a bit cold yesterday but apparently, I was wrong.
Nothing is as cold as Mount Washington State Park cold. The temperature on the summit never did make it past 0 degrees on Wednesday and accompanied by fog and high winds it must have been magical to look at out a window but not to be hanging outside or anywhere outdoors atop the peak.
I have heard stories that the weather conditions can change in a heartbeat atop Mount Washington State Park and I believe it after looking at these photos.
The first big cold spell and snow on Mount Washington is a sure sign that winter is coming for the rest of us. I'm glad I had my snow tires put on the car already.

As I think of it, I guess it had to be closer to --40? for it to get to what I particularly remember, that it was -60F wind chill, et al.
As you say, it was (almost?) enough for me, a lifelong lover of cold (easy to do and be down here) to maybe ... question my preference.

What was cool was the classic spit and it would freeze before it hit the ground - and of course my mustache was an iceberg hanging from my lip.
