Worst Weather in the World

I flew up to Maine to see my sister and cousins for a few days. As part of the trip we went up Mount Washington in NH. We went up on the Cogged Railway. It's A unique old vehicle system that only uses a large cog underneath the engine hooked into a ladder type of rack on the tracks all the way to the top. The modern engine uses a 600HP John Deere driving a hydraulic pump which in turn drives several hydraulic motors turning the large cog. Mt Washington is known for the extreme cold and highest wind in the world. Yes, the world. That was not the case when we went up. The winds were 3 MPH and the temp was 62 degrees. the highest ever temp ever recorded was 72 degrees and a 3 MPH wind is generally unheard of. So, the weather was quite kind for us.

Snowsports canada.com Douglas and I are planning on heading up to Valcourt Quebec this sunday for the Snow Machine races. The high temp in Potsdam is calling for 0 degrees F. A low of -18 degrees F is expected. I suspect it may get colder in Canada, Eh? We will have to decide if it is worth it.

Binghamton, New York Regional Radar Loop by Intellicast It's Snowing!!! Loard knows we need it. I told the guy in Mass to forget about the deal on his HOLDER tractor. I found a better deal in Ohio I think. It is a lot less money for a better machine. Let's see how it goes. Wish me luck.
