Winds Topping 100 MPH Blow Over Mount Washington Weather Observer
NORTH CONWAY, N.H. (CBS) – It's been a windy couple of days in New England, but nothing compared to the scene on Mount Washington Monday.
The observatory shared a video of a weather researcher struggling to stand upright as gusts reached a peak of 109 mph, literally blowing him over.
The wind chill felt like 20 degrees below zero at the summit, and that part of New Hampshire even saw several inches of snow Monday.
Mount Washington is no stranger to extreme winds. It still holds the record for the strongest wind gust ever observed by a human at 231 mph.
