Had an amazing time taking the Cog up this time. Thanks for staying open!! We got to mail out a couple post cards and bought some gifts in the gift shop after a couple hot chocolates.

As a long time member I was finally able to go to the top and visit. Intern was excellent and will be an asset to the MWO! Like all, we love Marty, hope you go many more years purr-E

what was the coldest temp reading this year so far

Hit -100* just 2 days ago with wind chill. Takes just 10 seconds to get frostbite & 30 seconds to get severe frostbite. Feel a like breathing in ice cold water at that temp too. My 10 hats off to the people who live up top & take the recordings etc...

I would recommend reaching out to the Cog at https://www.thecog.com/contactus/. The Observatory (where this question was posted) operates independently from the Cog.

How high is it

Robert Basler | Aug 22, 2018
Ryan Knapp | Aug 22, 2018

Actually, 6288ft - Wikipedia has it wrong. If you search for images of the summit sign, you'll see what I mean.

Why isn’t this place at the top of Mount Washington?

Lescelidge Zionter | Aug 22, 2019
Jennifer Schelly | Aug 22, 2019

There is also a station there at the top. But, in the winter months it's inaccessible, so this helps educate the public year round.

Is there an elevator in the observatory?

Stephanie Clarke | Aug 22, 2019
Brian Ciccariello | Aug 22, 2019

I did see an elevator in the lobby of the museum however there are no exhibits on the second floor that I am aware of.

who is the fellow that used to do the forecast from the top., with the bow tie.?

Fred Brauer | Aug 22, 2018
Ryan Knapp | Aug 22, 2018

Marty Engstrom, also know as Marty on the Mountain. He worked for WMTW Channel 8 and not MWO as several people mistakenly think. And interestingly enough, he wasn't actually a meteorologist. WMTW did a three part piece on him a few years back; if you Google him you should still be able to find the clips and articles.
