July 31, 7 PM - Thursday evening's program: Extreme Weather in New England with Mike Carmon

The summit of Mount Washington is a focal point of extremes. The weather and climate on Mount Washington have been studied firsthand for over 90 years by the summit observers of the Mount Washington Observatory.

In this presentation, learn more about the extreme weather on Mount Washington on a backdrop of the tempestuous New England weather. We'll examine recent regional extreme events, and include recent studies that have analyzed trends in Mount Washington's weather and climate over its 90+ year history. 

Mike grew up in central New Jersey, less than an hour outside of New York City. After graduating from Rutgers University with a B.S. in Meteorology, Mike’s passion for extreme weather brought him to the White Mountains of New Hampshire to work at the famed Mount Washington Observatory atop Mount Washington, NH. Mike spent 10 years on the summit crew.

Mike departed MWO in 2018 to explore science education with White Mountain Science. Mike spent six-and-a-half years driving the growth of WMSI to a thriving regional organization, which provides STEM education to rural New England students.  Mike is currently the Summit Weather Operations Manager for Mount Washington Observatory, helping oversee the year-round weather operations for the summit station.

This evening's program will be held at: NH North Country Resource Center, 629 Main St. Lancaster, NH.
