the night she died, the white mountains of new hampshire had the second lowest observed temperature on earth (after antarctica) and the actual lowest windchill (-90F). they also have some of the consistently strongest winds on earth. that makes the mountains deceptively treacherous for their size.

@aetataureate Yes, the NH White Mountains aren't very high but they are close to population centres and they have wind measurements, so we do know how bad the weather is. Maybe other places have extreme weather too, but not recorded.

@va2lam yep that's p much what i already said
