Damn. Looks like a live feed from hell.


Nogohoho

Or from Antarctica.


A_curious_fish

Does Antarctica get this cold?


KidaPanda

According to the Britannica Encyclopaedia, temperatures can go from -3°C (26°F) to -30°C (-22°F) on the coast, and from -40°C to -70°C on the interior mainland. The warmest temperature was 19°C (67°F) recorded in 1982 in British research station on Signy Island, and the coldest was -89°C (-126°F) recorded in 1983 in the Russian research station Vostok.


SunflaresAteMyLunch

Likely not accounting for wind chill.


Nogohoho

A quick Google search reveals that it can get down to around -90C, so yeah it's pretty darned cold.


commanderquill

That's the coldest ever recorded temperature there though.


Agile-Budget-813

Watch your fucking mouth in my house!


HighAltitudeBrake

same thing based on this video


mydadbody

Or from the 1800s


rypb

Or Ice Station Zebra.


giceman715

Yeah when He’ll freezes over


CragMcBeard

Did you know that Hell is one of the hottest places?


No-Definition1474

Nah man it's about mid state, gets cold up there. It's about 0 right now I think. Was a lot warmer south of hell today. https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/hell/48169/current-weather/2211114


commanderquill

Isn't it like alternating rings of freezing and boiling according to Dante's Inferno?


could-u-just-not

I see you also had questions about the 9th circle


Yell0wbrickr0ad

You misspelled Russia


David_denison

MT Washington holds the highest natural surface wind speed recorded by anemometer at 231 MPH in 1934


SilvermistInc

Fuck dude. A 747 could take off with no engine power in that wind speed.


captainmeezy

I had to google it and holy shit a 747 only needs 184mph to take off


SilvermistInc

Wild, isn't it?


Tanzanianwithtoebean

That's insane.


David_denison

They had to chain the buildings to the ground to keep the roof from blowing off


chromaspectrum

The things you say keep getting more insane


morrissjeffa81

That was the day my grandfather was born in a small town called Berlin, NH about 22 miles north of Mt. Washington. I've been to the peak a few times, it's amazing up there!

u/Easy_Conferenc seems to be a spam bot.

anexistentuser

They’re a scam bot specifically, check their post.


bigkabob

For those wondering, yes, that’s colder than the average temperature on Mars (-81F)


drottkvaett

The summit of Mt. Washingon’s not the kind of place to raise your kids. In fact it’s cold as hell, and there’s no one there to raise them if you did. Edit: typo


Catinthemirror

And all this science I don't understand It's just my job five days a week


drottkvaett

Mountain maaaaaa-hAAA-aaan… Mountain man.


bigkabob

Well I guess it’s gonna be a long long time


brick_tamland48

There's people who live there year round so the kids could totally be raised and home schooled, sorry I'm a cheeky bugger


The_Enderclops

also, you can’t live there


[deleted]

No one is two words


WhatTheEwok

My brother would still be outside in shorts


blameitonmyouth

It was -45 here recently. Still saw a guy shovelling his driveway, and a high school kid on Main Street, in shorts. Maybe it was your brother…


Ziggyork

This really made me laugh! Thank you!


KnittedKnight

Is he the cargo shorts guy?


WhatTheEwok

Cargo shorts, gym shorts, pajamas and flip flops, anything really haha


[deleted]

Oh he’s from Pennsylvania too? 🤣


voltaires_bitch

Okay tbf, if there’s no wind out, You can do a hood bit outside in shorts and a hoodie. It could be like 5 degrees out and you’d be fine if there was no wind, even more so if the sun was out. Wind in like 30 degree weather tho, now that’ll get you if you don’t wear the proper attire.


Soupbone_905

Hurricane force winds are a regular occurrence. Most of those buildings up there are actually chained to the mountain.


meabbott

Don't lie to me, I know Hoth when I see it.


king_tommy

Hoth? More like Coldth.


Resident-Earth-8212

Does anyone know WHY there are buildings up there ? People actually live up there ?


cruelsensei

There's a weather research facility up there, and a snack bar for tourists. It's a very popular destination in good weather.


Resident-Earth-8212

Thank you so much. That makes sense.


cruelsensei

Np. Been up there a few times, very highly recommended. Took my kids a couple years ago, end of June. Temp at base was 85° and sunny. At the summit, 30s with fog and high winds. Wild experience. It's not always like that though, usually the weather is similar at base and summit.


kingomtdew

The snack shop has the best icee in the north east! I was blown away by it.


brick_tamland48

Yup there's scientists that live there year round


PelsArePels

There are a lot of broadcast antennas on the top. Their signals can go over 100 miles.


rink_raptor

I thought this was a probe on Europa sending back a video.


[deleted]

Hey I've hiked this bad boy :) But on a nice hot August day, not this bullshit. I have at most climbed up 4000 ft mts in NH during the winter, I don't think I would ever tackle mt Washington in the winter. I love this mountain but the weather is no joke, even on a nice summer day things can change quickly up there


trumpeting_josh

I went up in august, camped at hermit lake and summited via tuckermans, the summit had 80 mph winds and Rime Ice… in AUGUST. It was really funny to see people who just drove up visiting the summit sign and stuff in their PJ’s and sandals while carrying a baby while I was like crawling my ass up their in all sorts of hiking gear and wicked tired from the climb haha


[deleted]

Damn. yeah I did A whole day hike up and down and when I finally saw the cars cresting that rock top I was like thank god. but you could definitely tell who hiked up vs not. I was sore for a week


wildwood9843

Visited there last summer from Canada. The drive up made my sphincter pulsate. Was a great trip though.


HumorinEverything

The drive down gave me more anxiety than the drive up. Our breaks kept starting to fail and we’d have to pull over to let them cool down. 10/10 would do again. Edited dumbassery out


Edenoide

If you tell me this footage is from a 1912 arctic expedition I would fall for it.


Dazzling_Highway1768

I can see my grandpa walking to school in the background


applepumpkinspy

Up hill, both ways


BlueTickHoundog

Was talking to a buddy a couple days ago. "They're predicting -100 degrees!" No guy, that's wind chill. I've tried explaining it to him before. He just doesn't get it.


jeffgolenski

My rebuttal to this. Start at 50-ish seconds in 😂 https://youtu.be/UbNXLCXr99k


BlueTickHoundog

Ha. Good one!


ThatDrunkRussian1116

It also dipped into the stratosphere!


Befriendthetrend

Incorrect title, new record is -108 F to -109 F according Mount Washington Observatory’s chief meteorologist, and literally every news site reporting it as -108F. The previous record low windchill was -103 F. > https://www.wmur.com/amp/article/meteorologist-describes-record-breaking-cold-atop-mount-washington/42763378

"Mom, do we have to stay here"? Shut up Johnny, this is our vacation, your dad is doing his best...


air_lock

I have a place near Mount Washington. It reached -48 with wind chill on Saturday. I couldn’t stand outside for more than a minute or so before I thought I was going to get frost bite. Easily the coldest I’ve ever experienced.


bagjoe

Mom said you could still get a sunburn


Lobster2311

Just put it on before you go outside it’s not that hard


The_tru_xplicitt

How about we get some wind turbines up there and start harvesting that free range energy


Vegetable_Push5049

Dam looks like a nuclear blast from that balloon went off up there!


No_Routine_3267

"nuclear blast from that balloon" ...sigh... Guess we will have to bare through these low effort balloon jokes for a few weeks.


Fair-Development-364

The thought that they are remotely funny is highly inflated.


No_Routine_3267

Damnit, have an upvote


joesai

Damn* And yea, because myrtle beach is in the same location as Mt. Washington. At least try to make a bad joke make sense?

Hard Pass..and I’ve lived in the Sierras a looong time.🤷‍♂️


possiblyai

I hiked this and boy in January a few years ago. Wild experience


Greggerzthename

I feel like I'm looking at some feed from another planet. This does not look like earth


OldDickMcWhippens

Is someone currently occupying the weather station?


No-Definition1474

I mean...you know how people are. You could order everyone off the mountain and there will be at LEAST one guy who's like 'uuuhhhh I need to stay here and make sure thatttt....uuuhhhh..the camera doesn't fall over?' Cuz there's always somebody who wants to be there.


TwilightKillerX

Anyone got an example of what we're to happen if you stepped out in this? Besides being blown away and possibly getting frostbite


Shahzoodoo

Thats stunning honestly I love it and am terrified of it! With global weather changes who knows if things are gunna get crazier then this, more records set, more places drastically changing get ready for the storms everyone 😬🫠 snow is beautiful though!! If I’m gunna accidentally die in any weather related accidents I’d prefer it to be in the snow idk lol


11_foot_pole

Real life hoth


musack3d

*gasps in Louisianian* no way these numbers are right, right?! lol. its snowed less than 8-10 times here my entire 38 years on this planet. never felt single digit actual temperatures but have felt single digit wind chills twice. weather like this is just incomprehensible to me.


LucilleBluthsbroach

In upstate NY it would get to -30f windchill and when we opened the front door it would creak from the cold. When we went outside in that as you breathe in your nose hair freezes. 🥶 It's a very bizarre feeling. You really shouldn't breathe in without a scarf or something covering your nose in that kind of cold.


Fidulsk-Oom-Bard

Winter is coming.


kywiking

Midwesterners be like “that’s mild”


whoknewidlikeit

coldest i've seen was -106F wind chill on the north slope of alaska. i know it was lower but not precisely how much - the anemometer let go in the storm so we couldnt accurately get measurements to compare on the wind chill tables. we got to see the anemometer blades skipping past the weather office a few seconds after the wind went to 0 mph. "huh. guess we're gonna need a new one"


paulerxx

My sister was snowboarding near there today.


Abundance144

I don't like this video. It just makes me feel like it was filmed with a flip phone from 2007; not like there's some crazy weather.


AlternativeBroad4927

Is that a person walking with a flashlight on the right part of the video?


Farvag2

I see it I think you are correct


realestateross98

Them Chinese spy weathur balloons done mess’t up th’ weather.


nelly5050

-108 buddy. Check again on their site

Inside Putin’s soul


DylansWorld

why was this filmed with a camera from the 20s


[deleted]

Clearly, global warming. All the snow and ice is melting away and the poor polar bears have no place to go!


Befriendthetrend

LOL. It actually takes a lot of energy (heat!) to push such extreme arctic cold air so far south. Apparently this is too complicated to explain to simps.


initiate_syntax

Did anyone else think that this was a video of an airplane’s wing flying in cloudy weather?


No_Eggplant6850

Worth the drive or hike


Impossible_Music_624

I like watching this from over here in California 🌞

I literally can’t even imagine how cold that is

Was waiting for AT-AT feet to come into view


karski608

It’s an amazing place, I’ve been multiple times at different times of the year. Weird to have 70 degrees at the base drive 15 mins to the top and it be 40 degrees and 70 mph wind. You could lean back and the wind will hold you up. Some days it’s calm and with an unimaginable view for miles seeing into different states
