Mount Washington Observatory in NH may temporarily exist in the stratosphere tomorrow.

Pretty interesting stuff.
Quick Summary: The tropopause is the boundary between the troposphere where we live and the stratosphere. The polar vortex going on in that area could create conditions that would cause the tropopause to dip below the peak which this observatory sits which would technically put it in the stratosphere which contains the ozone layer.
Currently, winds are gusting up to 112 mph and windchills are around -108 F

A Bills fan would be shirtless in this weather.

I saw AccuWeather forecasting -111 and it made me google Mount Washington today.

Set a new record for coldest wind chill recorded in the continental U.S., I believe.

Winds topped 120mph this afternoon.
ETA: That observatory is a good Twitter follow. It is staffed 24/7/365 and the crew works a week at a time and lives in barracks at the summit.

120 is impressive, but the hell with that.

Family lives near Mt. Washington. It's -18F air temp, -45F factoring wind chill.
I'm sitting at a comfortable -4F/-20F.

My father drove us yo the top on 2 different trips. Scary arse drive. The observatory sold t-shirts saying world's worst weather. I believe they lost the title some years back.

A while back I interviewed for an internship up there but it was unpaid so I went with something else. They have paid weather observers up there though. Would be a pretty sweet gig.

We spent our honeymoon in upper New England (VT, NH, & ME) and drove to the top of Mt.Washington(still.have the picture of me at the summit). During the drive up once we got above the tree line I told my wife not to speak or ask me to look over the side, I'm terrified of heights and was scared shitless so I just wanted to focus straight ahead and on the road until we got to the top.
There is no guardrail.
