The weather observatory on top of New Hampshire's Mount Washington has recorded some of the most severe weather conditions on the face of the earth. For example, the highest wind ever recorded (233 mph) was recorded there in 1932. It is not uncommon to have winds over 100 mph. And the temperature there has never been higher than 72 degrees. Ever.

Since 2001, I have volunteered for a week each winter at the Observatory. I cook dinners for the crew (I know how to cook exactly 7 things), but mostly I make photographs, when the weather is not too bad.

To read more about the Observatory and my work there, I have created a page to share my experiences: Life at the Top.
