This, along with seasonable temperatures in the upper forties and relatively calm winds made for a good chance to get outside for a little bit. <p />...<p /> <a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/goto/llbean">Shop at L.L.

If we are lucky the fog will clear for seconds at a time, reassuring us that the landscape does in fact continue past the borders we have become so accustomed to. I thought I would take some time to refresh all of our memories as to what that landscape is...! <p />...<p /> <a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/goto/llbean">Shop at L.L.

Instead of the expected gray light of incessant fog, my pupils quickly contracted in the brightness of full sun being reflected off a spectacular <a target='new' href='http://www.mountwashington.org/weather/comments/2009/IMG_0267.JPG'>undercast</a>! After a few days of persistent rain and fog, not even the strongest coffee will awake the senses like the sun (though a cup of coffee I did have). <p />...<p /> <a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/goto/llbean">Shop at L.L.

Washington is quite an extreme place. As our website boasts, bitter cold, dense fog, heavy snow, and record winds are a regular thing up on the rock pile. Unfortunately, the 'home of the world's worst weather' is a reputation that many believe applies solely to the winter months. This is certainly not the case, and I will use this shift week as an example. <p />...<p /> <a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/goto/llbean">Shop at L.L.

Among the programs are Summer EduTrips, which include van transportation up and down, an overnight at the Observatory, and a full guided tour during your day-and-a-half on the mountain. It you have an affection for this mountain, it's a great 'immersion' experience in the landscape, environment, and history of this remarkable place. <p />...<p /> <a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/goto/llbean">Shop at L.L.

Well it seemed to be true yesterday. All afternoon we were wishing that thunderstorms would bubble up, and our wish came true. Except for the fact that they seemed to bubble up everywhere but here. New York, Vermont, Canada, and even Maine got hit with a few storms, but we were stuck in a bubble. <p />...<p /> <a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/goto/llbean">Shop at L.L.

Washington Observatory is a lot more than just cooking. It is about having the best seats to some of the greatest shows on earth. The shows are more than just science and nature: they are eclectic, uplifting, and comforting. <p />...<p /> <a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/goto/llbean">Shop at L.L.

I am here because I thought that it would be an interesting place to spend some time. And it is. The views and the weather are very interesting. Also, as an ex-science teacher, watching the laboratory work and being able to ask endless questions of the staff is fun. In exchange, I have to cook. I'm not a cook. After 6 days I'm sure the staff has figured that out. In my mind it's a necessary chore, like mowing my lawn. And so I thank the observers Ryan, Bryan, and Mike, the interns Hedda and Alex, the museum staff Sharon, and the AMC outdoor educator Casey for being so kind as to say 'Thanks Tom, that was pretty good' after each meal. I just hope no one loses too much weight this week. <p />...<p /> <a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/goto/llbean">Shop at L.L.
