-114 degrees in Mt Washington (with windchill :P) this morning.

[Guaranteed]

I heard there are actually people who are so insane as to live in this place. They may as well be living on the Moon.

1. would that freeze the balls off a brass monkey?

n/t

[Guaranteed]

3. You couldn't pay me enough to work up there

I think there is like 5-6 people up there now, weather observers, naturalists, etcetera.

[Guaranteed]

4. Seriously. My girlfriend tells me the industry up there is ice.

The people that live there go into the freezers to warm up.

5. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

8. Are you sure that is without windchill?

if so that would absoluetly shatter the all time North American record
of -81F. I think the wind chill is included in that -114F figure.

9. According to Weather.com

it's -28 there with a windchill of -83.

10. --114 ? I find that hard to believe.

I just left New Hampshire for the warmer climes of South Carolina, but I can't believe its 114 below, even on Mt. Washington. According to weather.com, its a balmy -28, and even when you do factor in windchill, then its only -78. Where do you get your -114 degre figure?

[Guaranteed]

12. Saw it on CNN's weather about an hour ago.

I think it was actually with the windchill, though, and it's gone down to -84 since then.

[kcwayne]

11. -114 was the windchill, the actual was -45

[Guaranteed]

13. Right, I think it was with the windchill. nt

14. Mars had a high of 11- five degrees warmer than Boston - but gets cold at

night to below -100.

But I think New England is a good spot to get ready for a
Mars trip!

15. I visited the weather station once up at Mount Washington

It was summer though :)

When I worked at a NH radio station back in the 80's (WMWV), we talked to the people on Mt. Washington each morning for the weather...so, they invited the morning DJ & myself (who did news) to come up and check it out...

It's like a fortress up there...it may be minus 100, but they've got total protection from the elements (as long as they stay inside!!!).

16. -70 makes steel as brittle as glass

oilmen in Siberia learned that the hard way.
