Avalanche warning for parts of white mountains published in NH

In the middle of the hard cold and heavy wind, an avalanche warning was exhibited for parts of the White Mountains until 7 a.m., the Washington Avalanche Center said.

Avalanche conditions are “very dangerous” and large, destructive and naturally occurring avalanches are “very likely” in northern, eastern and southern site, the center said in a explanation on Monday.

On Sunday there was about 11 inch snowfall in the presidential area, which corresponds to about 1.03 inch water on the summit of Mount Washington, according to the center.

The continued wind gusts on the mountain were between 125 miles per hour and 135 miles per hour, but often rose by 140 miles per hour or higher, the Mount Washington Observatory said on his Facebook page.

“Our indoor barograph is literally from the diagram from the diagram, since the strong winds act as vacuuming from our doors,” said the observatory. “Our previous main wind gust of the day is 161 (miles per hour) and is our highest daily lace gust since we reached 171 (miles per hour) on February 25, 2019.”

The 161 miles per hour of peak is the 19th highest daily Bö of the observatory since 1935, the explanation says.

“In order to get into our top 10 daily lace gusts, we would have to reach 170 (miles per hour), which is certainly possible over the next 24 hours,” said the observatory.

The dangerous conditions come a day after a man and a woman from an avalanche were saved in front of cannon cliffs in Franconia Notch State Park in New Hampshire, reported The Globe.
