As New Hampshire State Parks noted, 'A little snow accompanied by temperatures in the mid-20s today, winds up to 60 mph, and wind chill values in the single digits remind us that winter comes early at the top of New England.' This stark reminder highlights the extreme conditions on Mount Washington, even as fall begins. The striking visuals of the snow-covered summit illustrate how quickly winter can take hold.
The closure of the New Hampshire State Park due to snowfall underscores the unpredictable weather patterns typical for the region. NHSP shared captivating images showing a snowy landscape, including the mountain’s signage and lawn chairs, transformed into a winter scene, showcasing the power of nature’s elements.
NHSP confirmed that while the summit was closed, areas lower down the Mount Washington Auto Road and Cog Railway remained accessible. This decision reflects an ongoing assessment of safety in changing winter conditions, indicating a balance between accessibility and public safety in park management.
