About the Event
Have you wondered what it is like to be living in a place deemed the "home of the world's worst weather”? Well, now is your chance to get a first-hand account of daily life and work at the Mount Washington Observatory from current weather observer and research/IT specialist Charlie Peachey. He will be making his way from the top of New England to the Jenks Center to discuss topics such as what it is like to go out in hurricane-force winds every hour, what makes the weather on the summit of Mt. Washington so extreme, what it's like to live at the summit, and many of the other unique challenges that arise from the extreme weather conditions experienced daily.
