This picture sent by Jeff Manget, who is spending Christmas at Mt. Washington, NH. Not actually on the mountain, of course…the roads and trains up there are closed from September to April, and the wind gusts to 100 mph a lot. Jeff and his family are staying in the town of Mt. Washington, and this is a picture of Mt. Washington (the part you can see below the clouds) from their condo/hotel.
