Tales from the Home of the World's Worst Weather by Will Broussard of the Mount Washington Observatory

While many places on Earth experience severe weather, few are inhabited by humans 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Mount Washington Observatory has been operating a continuously-staffed scientific outpost on this remote peak since 1932, providing the Observatory many remarkable stories and an intimate knowledge of the mountain. An infamous place of extremes, 6,288-foot Mount Washington, New Hampshire has been captivating people for hundreds of years.

Local Artist Exhibit in October

The artist for the month of October is Eileen Golden of Northwood, NH. Eileen says she has always been deep into some form of art expression. She received her formal training at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and graduated from Queens College with a major in art and elementary education. She worked as an art teacher in the Lynbrook, NY, school system. In 2006 Eileen began taking lessons from Doris Rice of North Hampton and later from Larry Frates of Laconia. Without the guidance of these two talented watercolorist she doubts she would have reached her current level. Those teachers released her muse and she is indebted to them both. Eileen continues her classes with both and lives in Northwood, NH with a dog and two cats.
