You wouldn’t know it’s the middle of May at the Mount Washington Observatory in New Hampshire.
The mountain received a winter blast on Monday, with snow and winds topping out at 109 mph, and gusts near the 100 mph mark blew through the region through the afternoon.
Two intrepid weather observers, Mike Dorfman and Tom Padham, were brave enough to step out onto the observation deck to experience the hurricane-force winds, which were accompanied by snow. The pair’s adventure was recorded and posted on the observatory’s Facebook page. In the video, it is clear that it is hard to stay on one’s feet because of the force of the wind.
The observatory promises that summer is just around the corner.
