SUMMARY:Mount Washington Observatory Founding Day
DESCRIPTION:*Event Update: Due to inclement weather expected on the summit of Mount Washington\, we have decided to move our Oct. 15 Founding Day open house to the Observatory’s Administrative Building\, located at 2779 White Mountain Highway in North Conway\, NH. \nTours of our summit weather station will not be offered on Oct. 15. We have made this decision in the interest of safety for our guests\, staff\, and volunteers. Thank you for understanding! \nWe invite you to stop by our office in North Conway on Tuesday\, Oct. 15 for the open house from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM\, and to enjoy a presentation at 1:00 PM by Dr. Peter Crane\, Observatory Curator. The Observatory’s Gladys Brooks Memorial Library will be open from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. \nLight refreshments will be provided. Please enter through the front of our building. \n  \nOn October 15\, 1932\, Bob Monahan\, Sal Pagliuca\, Alex MacKenzie\, and Joe Dodge set up a permanent presence on the summit. Using funds obtained from a research grant and a few private donors\, the Mount Washington Observatory was formally established\, with a mission of advancing the understanding of weather\, climate\, and the mountain itself. \nJust two years later\, on April 12\, 1934\, the Observatory captured what was then the fastest surface wind speed ever observed by man\, at 231 mph. This thrust Mount Washington into the spotlight and highlighted the value in having a mountaintop weather station. \nDue to their steadfast dedication and the Observatory staff that followed\, this mountaintop weather station remains a unique operation staffed 365 days a year and proudly maintains one of the longest running climate records in North America. Today\, we continue to gather\, disseminate and analyze daily weather data; to contribute to the critical\, long-term weather and climate record essential to scientific understanding of weather and climate in a unique\, extreme environment. Here’s to approaching our 92nd anniversary\, and many more to come! \n\nWhile we at the Observatory are extremely proud to celebrate our history\, it is only a fraction of what makes the day so special. None of it would have been possible without the support of our members! Thank you to everyone who has had a hand in making the Observatory what it is today\, we genuinely couldn’t do it without you! \nFood and refreshments made possible by our generous sponsors at Cabot Creamery Cooperative.

SUMMARY:Science in the Mountains Lecture Series: Climate Resilience in Boston
DESCRIPTION:Climate Resilience in Boston: Addressing the Impacts of Flooding and Rising Temperatures\nZoe Davis\, Senior Climate Resilience Project Manager; Catherine McCandless\, Senior Climate Resilience Project Manager; Boston Office of Climate Resilience  \nBoston experiences the effects of climate change on a daily basis\, with rising sea levels\, stronger storms\, and hotter days posing an increasing threat to the city. The City of Boston released the Climate Ready Boston report in 2016 and has since completed coastal resilience plans for Boston’s entire 47-mile coastline as well as a citywide heat resilience plan. Today\, the Office of Climate Resilience and its partners in other City departments are implementing climate resilience projects across the city to address coastal flooding\, stormwater flooding\, and extreme heat. This presentation/webinar will share an overview of Boston’s climate resilience planning efforts and key projects that are underway to implement strategies presented in the plans.  \nClick Here to Register

SUMMARY:2024 Eastern Snow & Avalanche Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the 2024 Eastern Snow & Avalanche Workshop! ESAW is a continuing education seminar for avalanche professionals and backcountry enthusiasts.\n\nMWOBS Weather Observer and Research/IT Specialist Charlie Peachey will be presenting on rain-on-snow research alongside Laura Wilson\, who spent last winter working as an intern with both the Mount Washington Avalanche Center (MWAC) and MWOBS\, contributing to Charlie’s valuable research during her dual internship.\n\nA rainstorm in the winter can quickly destabilize snowpack over a large area\, negatively impact local ski areas and economies\, and ruin a backcountry enthusiast’s weekend plans. Therefore\, our goal is to evaluate when these events are most likely to occur and how big they are when they occur by utilizing Mount Washington Observatories’ unique and invaluable long-term climate data set. Our initial results have begun to show how rain-on-snow events are becoming more prevalent later into the year and have increased in the number of occurrences per year over the past 10 years than ever before. A perfect example of the impacts of rain on snow events comes from the significant event that occurred last December 18-19\, 2023. Upon analyzing nearby stream gauge data\, it was determined that this event caused a nearly once in an eight-hundred-year flood for some nearby streams. Therefore\, it validates the need to understand these weather events better and their impacts on nearby communities.\n\nPlease visit https://esaw.org/ for more information and to purchase tickets to this event.

Donations will benefit co-hosts Mount Washington Observatory and Blue Hill Observatory\, both nonprofit organizations. \nAbout The Lions of Winter\nOn January 25\, 1982\, Mountain Rescue Service volunteer Albert Dow became the first – and so far the only – member of a backcountry search and rescue team to be killed in the line of duty in the White Mountains. This happened during a four-day search for two missing ice climbers on Mount Washington. Dow was caught in an avalanche in terrain previously thought to present no risk. His teammate\, Michael Hartrich\, was injured in the accident. Gagne relies on Mount Washington Observatory weather data in part to tell the story. \nThe Lions of Winter describes the ordeal of the missing climbers\, the selflessness and courage of the dedicated rescuers\, the tragic circumstances surrounding the avalanche\, and the heartbreak of the family\, friends\, and teammates of the fallen rescuer. Gagne also chronicles how this grueling event became a landmark of White Mountain history\, ushering in a new era in the search and rescue community of New Hampshire

SUMMARY:Science in the Mountains Lecture Series: Forensic Meteorology
DESCRIPTION:Meteorology and the Law: The History and Science of Forensic Meteorology\nAlicia Wasula\, Ph.D.\, Certified Consulting Meteorologist\, President\, STM Weather  \nWhile most people think of meteorologists as scientists who spend their time looking forward into the future to make a forecast\, forensic meteorologists spend their time looking backward at weather events that have already occurred. Many types of litigation involve the weather in some way: personal injury\, property damage claims\, wrongful death\, and even criminal cases. Forensic meteorologists are retained by attorneys as ‘expert witnesses’ to explain to them and to the court what the weather conditions were like relating to a particular incident. Sometimes\, expert meteorologists must give opinions as to how the weather conditions played a role in the particular event involved in the lawsuit. Observational data from many sources\, including CoCoRaHS observers\, is synthesized into a chronology of weather events. Although many cases settle outside of court\, forensic meteorologists are at times required to appear in court to discuss their research and explain their opinion to a judge or a jury. Many forensic meteorologists hold the AMS Certified Consulting Meteorologist certification\, which attests to their knowledge\, ethics and experience. In addition to conducting scientific analysis\, forensic meteorologists must be excellent communicators who are able to explain their findings clearly to non-scientists. \nIn this webinar\, we will discuss the long history of the field of forensic meteorology\, learn how observational data is used to understand the meteorological conditions\, and look at several interesting examples which demonstrate how forensic meteorologists help attorneys understand the weather as it relates to a specific case. \nClick Here to Register

SUMMARY:Science in the Mountains: Eyes on the Sky: Watching the Weather with Mountain Rain or Snow
DESCRIPTION:Meghan Collins\, MS\, Associate Research Scientist\, Desert Research Institute   \nWhat is falling from the sky right now? Join us to hear about Mountain Rain or Snow\, a project welcoming weather observers to help track cold weather storms.   \nIt’s notoriously difficult to track winter precipitation in the mountains because it can vary over the course of minutes and across short distances. Normally\, we think of snow falling at air temperatures below 32°F – but in the world of weather forecasting\, that isn’t always the case. We can sometimes see snow falling at several degrees above freezing! And as residents of the northeast know\, it can also be difficult to predict freezing rain. Direct observations\, made by people\, are the most accurate way to update the technologies that drive our weather forecasts.  \nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Tuckerman Inferno Pentathlon
DESCRIPTION:Compete to support a great cause! All proceeds from this event support the Mount Washington Avalanche Center Foundation. This event is a major fundraiser for the foundation whose mission is to support the Mount Washington Avalanche Center by enhancing and expanding avalanche education opportunities\, advocating for responsible and sustainable backcountry recreation in New Hampshire’s unique alpine ecosystems\, and expanding the reach of US Forest Service avalanche forecasts and messages. \nThis year’s pentathlon harkens back to the Inferno’s historical roots as a summit-to-valley citizen’s ski race while retaining the modern Inferno’s five-stage adventure relay format. Compete individually\, as a skimo/nordic dynamic duo\, or as a relay team. \nThe new Inferno is the comprehensive test piece for winter mountain travel. Racers will ascend the eastern flank of Mount Washington to the Summit (weather permitting) and descend to Jackson Village using alpine touring\, technical ski mountaineering\, alpine ski racing\, backcountry nordic travel\, and nordic ski racing skills. The race retains the pentathlon format with relay tag zones and time splits for the following five stages. Register here!
