Presentation: Experiencing the World’s Worst Weather: The Mt. Washington Observatory Inside and Out

Meteorologist Sarah Long and observatory volunteer Steve Yenko will present an evening entitled “The Mt. Washington Observatory Inside and Out.” Long and Yenko offer a unique dual perspective of Mt. Washington, first looking outside to examine why it’s known as the “world’s worst weather,” then peeking inside the Observatory at the lives of the people who spend their time measuring and monitoring conditions, forecasting, and educating about the magnificence and danger of the northeast’s tallest peak, and how you can join them on the top.

This program blending meteorology and volunteering is Tuesday, February 22, 2011, in the Morrell Room of the Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant Street, in Brunswick, Maine. A potluck dinner begins at 6 pm followed by the presentation at 7 pm. Bring a potluck item and your own dinnerware (plate, utensils etc.). Drinks will be available. This talk is free and open to the public. FMI: download a flyer or contact John Mullens
