A Great Week on the Summit!
2015-09-09 17:39:44.000 – Adam Gill, Summit Intern
This week was a quiet week weather wise; we had a strong ridge of high pressure over New England that kept the temperatures well above average. Descending air underneath high pressure allowed for the summit to be out of the clouds for much of my time this shift. Thursday and Friday had less humidity so there was not too much haze on the horizon which allowed for great visibility. In fact, on Friday morning the Atlantic Ocean was visible for a short time in the morning as a sliver of light reflecting off the water on the horizon. We also had some beautiful sunsets, with high clouds and a bit of smoke (from the fires out west) intensifying the evening color.
The weekend was really busy with many people visiting the summit and with one of the nicest weekend’s weather wise. While visitors were enjoying the summit, we were hard at work on several construction projects. One of our major projects is redoing the floor of the instrument tower. All the old flooring was ripped up and replaced with wooden flooring to help make snow removal easier. This project took much of Sunday but is still a work in progress.
