Play at Home Version

I'm headed to New Hampshire today to climb Mt. Washington tomorrow.

Looking at the forecast, I doubt we'll make it to the summit.

If you'd like to play along during tomorrows adventure, here's some links to help give you an idea of what we're experiencing.

Current Summit Weather refresh this one for up to date measurements.

Auto Road Vertical Profile refresh periodically for updates. This gives you an idea of the temps at various elevations. The previous one does the same, but this one gives you context with the mountain profile.

This is a screen capture I took of the Auto Road Vertical Profile this morning. The red line is the route we'll be taking to the summit. It's meant to give you an idea of where we'll be in relation to the road and the mountain profile.

We'll hit the trail somewhere between 8 and 9am. The trip usually takes five hours to get to the summit and 3 hours to get back down. That would put us on the summit anywhere between 12 and 2 to help you coordinate your observations of the summit weather conditions.

With negative single digit highs and 75mph+ winds, I doubt we'll see the summit.

Sounds you could use my heated gloves, battery would be a little heavy. Have fun!
