This was a fairly easy week for the weatherman to predict. After Wednesday it has been perfect temperature-wise and with plenty of sunshine. The weekend was splendid. It was even so refreshing there was no need to run the window air conditioners.
Make sure you glance at the daily temperatures at the end of this report. Check out the low temps during the three-day period of Thursday, Friday and Saturday when they went from 66 to 56 to 46. It’s nice that it didn’t go down one more level to 36 on Sunday morning.
A note from Mt. Washington: Completed and opened to the public in 1861, the privately owned and operated Auto Road climbs 4,618 feet from the base and reaches more than a mile in the sky to the highest point in the Northeast at 6,288 feet. Since then friends and families have driven, toured and explored the Mt. Washington Auto Road making it the first and oldest man-made attraction in the United States.
