Right Back At It Again!

May 2017 I began my adventure on Mount Washington as a summer intern who had never been to New Hampshire let alone the summit before. All it took was one day on the rockpile and I knew this place would change my life. I was able to experience thunderstorms, hail, glaze, and rime ice all within my first month of living on Mount Washington. As my summer internship came to a close I applied for and received an extension on my stay on the summit and stayed on as the fall intern. I was itching to experience some extreme weather I knew the “Home of the World’s Worst Weather” had to offer. The fall internship did not disappoint! I was able to experience several 100+ mph days and even reached my personal peak gust of 133mph during one amazing fall storm. After 7 months with the observatory my internship came to a close and I was devastated to have to leave the mountain that had become my home away from home.
