Missed the totality path by that much🤏 Our location still had great views of a partial eclipse with 99.97% of the sun obscured. While we remained in the light, the shadow of totality can be seen extending to the right of the frame as it passed through northern VT/NH.

A timelapse (8x speed) of today's from Mount Washington Observatory, . It was a partial eclipse for our location w/ 99.97% coverage. Winds were 35-50 mph at the time, so keeping our camera setup stable was a bit of a challenge, so we apologize for the wobble.

The highest cheesy bagel in the Northeast! Intern Laura took advantage of the nearly calm, sunny conditions this morning and enjoyed her Big Dave's Bagels & Deli bagel topped with Cabot Creamery Cooperative cheddar. Thanks to these sponsors for providing breakfast with a view!

Three days of above freezing temperatures, fog, rain, and drizzle has resulted in almost a complete loss of snowpack . Winter is not over, however, as another round of heavy snow, high winds, and single-digit temperatures are expected this weekend (mountwashington.org/forecast)

The summit cleared from the clouds just before sunrise this morning after receiving a total of 17.5'' of new snowfall. Then the winds ramped up early this morning with gusts well up to 115mph as the storm pulled away producing whiteout conditions on and below the summit.

This is how the summit staff feel about today's thundersnow! Today between around 2pm EDT, two bolts of lightning struck Mount Washington. The lightning was accompanied by thunder, graupel, and snow. Summit staff safely enjoyed the rare, exciting event from inside the building.
