 This week, we recorded an episode at the Seek the Peak kick off event at Tuckerman Brewing. SEEK THE PEAK is the annual kick-off fundraising event that supports the Mount Washington Observatory. The Observatory is a private, nonprofit, member-supported institution with a mission to advance understanding of the natural systems that create Earth’s weather and climate. It serves this mission by maintaining a weather station on the summit of Mount Washington, performing weather and climate research, conducting innovative science education programs, and interpreting the heritage of the Mount Washington region.We are joined by volunteers, meteorologists and friends of the show all in support of this annual fundraiser event.
