Mt Washington - 2012 (NH) Calendar
This 2012 Calendar is my first attempt at representing one of the more interesting land forms in the United States, if not the world, the 6,288 foot Mount Washington. Located in Northern New Hampshire, this relatively diminutive peak by global standards, is said to have some of the world’s worst weather.
Washington is one of the few large mountains to have a year round staffed meteorological observatory on its summit to verify the fierceness of its weather.
Mt Washington has two seasons- winter and summer. The mountain is snow capped to one degree or another for eight months a year and only a relatively small number of well trained and well prepared adventurers challenge the summit.
Over 100 days each winter see winds in excess of 100 mph that routinely drive temperatures to wind chills of forty to sixty below zero. Snow rarely stays put for long on the exposed summit but skiers know that much of it will end up in Tuckerman Ravine on the east flank of the mountain.
In summer, Washington is very accessible by car, train or on foot and somewhere on the order of 250,000 people visit. Visitors get to see the treeless summit sculpted by wind, ice and severe cold. In early summer tiny wildflowers, some that grow nowhere else south of the Arctic Circle, put on a brief but colorful display.
The mountain is truly a study in contrasts.
