While most of New England is finally thawed out from its mild winter, the folks at the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire are still dealing with ice and staggering winds.

Experts at the center said winds have topped out at 109 miles per hour, but the seemingly impenetrable wintry weather will soon pass for the coming tourist season this summer.
And that’s nothing — the summit of the 6,289 foot mountain was, for 62 years, the longtime site of the fastest non-tornadic wind ever recorded by man, at a terrifying speed of 231 miles per hour.
We’re not so sure you’d be jumping around then.
