Mount Washington and Weather Bug are stealing the show. recent wind gusts atop the 6,288 peak peak out at 74mph. One shy of Hurricane force winds.The summer I worked atop the Rock Pile I saw 90mph winds recorded on the pitot anemometer. Lesser instruments bit the dust!
Right now the ambient temperature is -20.2 degrees F. Your wind chill (what it feels on your skin) not your radiator is -59 Degrees. Some brave souls actually live in the new MTW Observatory.
Mount Washington Readings:

I once met a psychologist from San Francisco who said 'cold winter weather puts people in the mood of the season.' Blasie weather at Christmas is contraindicative to the "Hay in the Manger." I know I am adjusting to this cold spell by wearing cotton and wool. This 100% Cotton "Faded Glory" XL feels as if it were 100% wool.
Obviously the fibers of cotton keep you warm s toast. I am very selective on my winter clothes, regardless!
My Woolrich jacket is Made in India. So what! Many of my button-down collar dress shirts are 100% Cotton. Today they are 100% Salvation-Army!LOL. Tomorrow, I shall sport my Joseph A. Bank spiffy red wool blazer Made in Haiti! This is my latest " Army Fashion!"
And so it goes.. "I've got my clothes to keep me warm." I don't gamble, I don't drink, I don't smoke and all of the other vices that can ensnarl you in the trappings of the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong. I learned early on the true meaning of Christmas. Please "Go Figure!" Feliz Navidad!
