Do any of you [when bored] check the weather in random cities across the US/World? If so, what are some good cities to check out?
My fav is Mt Washington nh

Winds: From WNW at 103 mph
gusting to 120 mph
... with Heavy Freezing Rain, insane
Theres a few others I check randomly like barrow, ak but rarely are they as interesting as Mt Washington.

In the interest of accurary, Mount Washington isn't exactly a city, as no one actually lives there...
Still pretty neat to check out, though!

Technicially, the station is man year round. So no, its not a city, but ppl do live on the summit of the mountain.

..And really, what a month up on Mt. Washington... the summit has seen 79.1 inches of snow for this month (October 2005 alone), over 25% of the normal ANNUAL snowfall.
Unfathomable.
