Life at the Top

Tales, Truths, and Trusted Recipes from the Mount Washington Observatory

Who would have guessed that the world's windiest, chilliest weather occurs not in the Himalayas but in New England? Indeed, New Hampshire's Mount Washington is known as "Home of the World's Worst Weather." From the meteorological observatory on Washington's summit comes this account of "life at the top." Stories of one hundred-mile-per-hour winds, spine-tingling thunderstorms, spectacular sunsets, and breathtaking toboggan runs are paired with wacky encounters with wandering moose, one-of-a-kind questions from seasonal visitors, and an overview of the region's geology. Included is a section of recipes from the Observatory staff, people who take their meals seriously, especially in winter when the food gets spicier as the temperature grows colder.
