The Fogbow

Strange weather we’ve been having … Yesterday and much of today were quite the washouts, not to mention the high winds which took out power from the Conways last evening. Wow … we were driving in it and it was pretty wild! Our tour bus group, which arrived for two days here at The Lodge was very glad to find electricity awaiting them when they arrived last evening.  Our lights only flickered, but branches were strewn across roads from here to Maine.  The Mount Washington Observatory currently is registering mixed precipitation with wind chill temps of 10 degrees, and 75-95 mph winds, with higher gusts. Yesterday they photographed a Fogbow … a colorless rainbow arc of light in the miniscule fog droplets which are a millionth the size of a raindrop … pretty amazing!  Today here at the Lodge we have been running outside several times an hour to view some spectacular rainbows.  The latest was a huge TRIPLE rainbow!!
