Mount Washington, in New Hampshire, is the highest peak in Northeastern United States and the most prominent mountain east of the Mississippi River. It is better known as the 'Home of the World's Worst Weather.'

Mount Washington is located in the temperate climate zone but has Arctic-like conditions. Extreme cold, year-round snowfall, dense fog, heavy icing, and exceptional winds are some of its prominent features. The peak endures some of the planet's most extreme weather comparable to those experienced on top of Mount Everest or on the South Pole.
