Mount Washington Observatory Radio Show Leaves Air

The Weather Notebook broadcast by Mount Washington Observatory has been cancelled.

The program started in November of 1993, with grant money from the National Science Foundation and sponsorship from Subaru of America. It changed names over the years, starting as Among the Clouds and Weatherwise before settling on The Weather Notebook.

The show aired in two-minute broadcasts five days a week on more than 350 stations. But last year, the National Science Foundation grant ran out and shows were cut to one or two a week. Subaru of America continued its funding, but that wasn’t enough to keep the show afloat.

250 Hikers to Climb Mount Washington in Support of Non-Profit ...

MOUNT WASHINGTON, New Hampshire — There is nothing quite like standing atop the northeast's tallest peak-New Hampshire's 6,288-foot Mount Washington. In fact, in the heat of summer, what could be better than climbing to a mountain peak where the all-time high temperature is just 72 degrees? On July 22, more than 250 hikers from across the region will make that very trek to the summit of Mount Washington, all in an effort to raise money for the non-profit Mount Washington Observatory.

The 6th annual Seek the Peak Hike-a-thon, presented by L.L.Bean and Subaru, brings together hikers, Mount Washington fans, weather buffs and outdoor enthusiasts for a day of fun in a spectacular setting. Seek the Peak is the year's biggest fundraising event for the Mount Washington Observatory, and all proceeds help fund the annual costs of operating the legendary weather station on the summit of Mount Washington-the home of the "world's worst weather".
