This was my first week up on the Summit in a while and I got a chance to get down to the New Summit Museum to get some of the IT infrastructure put into place. All I could say is Wow, what a change since last time I was in the new space. The carpet is all in and looks fantastic. Most of the lighting is in place and just needs some final touches. This new Summit Museum was designed with all state of the art LED lighting to keep electrical costs down while providing the guest an incredible experience.
I spent Sunday morning installing and setting up some of the necessary IT infrastructure to allow all of the new high tech exhibits to be managed remotely. I understand this connectivity is going to allow the Museum Attendant to turn the exhibits on and off and manage other functions.
I just can't wait for the Mount Washington Auto Road to get clear enough for the exhibits to start coming up and installed. I've already got my name on the top of the list to 'test' the Snow Cat simulator.

Today's weather was a striking contrast from the previous 100+ mph wind, -45F windchill days with full sun, very little wind and warm temperatures in the 20s, but I must cut to the chase: Patty and I witnessed and took pictures of the avalanche on the southeast snowfields of the summit cone yesterday.
Here's the story: We went out for a short hike along the Tuckerman Ravine and Lion Head Trails to watch skiers climb then descend Tuckerman Ravine and the southeast snowfields of Mount Washington. The day was so gorgeous that we stayed on the Lion Head boulders for over an hour basking in the sun. Our return route took us along the Alpine Garden Trail where we heard a loud rumble then witnessed the avalanche and I was lucky enough to have my camera available to take several pictures of the avalanche in motion.
Mount Washington Observatory Volunteers carry radios when we leave the building so we were able to radio the event to the observers. Skiers began traversing the area looking for anyone who might be trapped. It wasn't until we returned from our hike that we learned what a large magnitude avalanche this was and the news and rescue efforts it was generating. It appears that there are no casualties, fortunately. The pictures I took were used to help the Forest Service Snow Rangers understand the nature of this avalanche.

Today's weather was actually enjoyable for a change. A ridge of high pressure cresting in
allowed for generally fair skies, low winds, and temperatures right around freezing. In
fact, it was the warmest temperatures the summit has experienced since February 21. While
shoveling snow from the weather tower and the fire exits isn't fun by any means, when
you have pleasant weather like today, it at least makes it enjoyable as you soak up some
sunshine. While it would be great to have this fair weather linger into Sunday, the
weather pattern has a different plan in store. High
pressure will depart this evening as a large area of low-pressure approaches from the
south. While temperatures will remain mild, summit fog will be returning, a mix of
precipitation will be falling, and winds will be back on the increase. While this may
sound like a typical set up on the summit, there are a few things that will make this a
bit more noteworthy.
As the warm air interacts with the cold snow on the surface, it may make for extremely dense fog at times as it did last night. There were times overnight when the fog was so dense, visibility could have been measured in inches on the summit - it was that dense! With the mix of precipitation types, snowfield stability may be affected. So, read the Mount Washington Avalanche Centers forecast and take extreme caution. With the amount of precipitation expected, ravine flash flooding could occur, especially if ice jams suddenly break (as seen in this example from Felchner Brook in Vermont). Lastly once all the water logged snow starts to freeze by Sunday afternoon, trail conditions will become extremely icy. So, play and stay safe if you are planning to play outside tomorrow and if unsure about conditions, always remember - the mountains aren't going anywhere, so maybe consider postponing your activities by a day or two.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to live and work in the same place? The Mount Washington Observatory family is just like any other family; we work during the day and share funny stories and experiences at the dinner table each night. But sometimes, the dynamic changes when we have overnight groups joining us on the summit. With a larger crowd, the dinner table becomes much livelier. Individuals who are brave enough to share personal stories to a group of strangers may eventually realize that perhaps we are not strangers any longer, but rather a group of friends relating to each other through similar life experiences. If you're interested in this unique experience, we've got room for you. Come join us for an overnight trip to see what our family is all about!

The higher summits are going to face strong winds in the coming days! With model numbers
indicating sustained winds between 85 and 105 mph, gusts will be pushing well above the
100 mph mark! If you're thinking about going anywhere near tree line, be sure to read our
Higher Summits
Outlook. Getting surprised in the backcountry by quickly accelerating winds can put
you in a dangerous situation very quickly.
Although our monthly average wind is highest in January (averaging 46 mph), the temperatures in the springtime allow for some of the windiest storms of the year. Our previous world record of 231 mph was recorded on the summit in April of 1934, and the monthly record wind speeds for the summit in spring are some of the highest in the whole year.
Do you want the chance to experience winds like these in person? The Mount Washington Observatory has a few spots left on our last Day Trip of the season this Monday (March 31st), and if you hurry, you can still join in. Experience the thrill of a two-ton tracked vehicle ascending the Northeast's tallest peak, feel the rush of hurricane-force winds and revel in the beauty of the alpine zone. Register now and join us for the adventure of a lifetime.

Mild wintry weather began our week up here, but we jumped right in to plan our meals for the edutrip that arrived the next day, Thursday. The weather Wednesday night turned snowy, very cold and windy so we wondered if the edutrip would be able to come up. The snowcat was able to get them here and we treated them to a pork roast with all the fixin's. They ate well and were grateful for our efforts which makes it all worthwhile. The next morning we got lucky and were able to view a beautiful, rosy sunrise in frigid wind chills. The weather continued extremely windy with low visibility later on, so we weren't sure if the EMS climbing school group would make it on Saturday. It took them all day to get to the top but they managed and arrived very cold, but no one got frostbite or hypothermia.
The next day was almost as cold and windy but visibility had improved. Judy and I were able to photograph a gorgeous sunset Sunday night with alpenglow illuminating the surrounding buildings. On Tuesday because the weather ameliorated we were able to hike down partway to Lakes of the Clouds hut and found evidence of animal urine, scat and pawprints on the trail. We're thinking it is fox since one was sighted up here a month ago. Volunteering up at the summit is a great opportunity to meet interesting people and experience the extreme weather the summit offers like nowhere else.

Although the calendar reads late March, it feels more like January across much of the
northeastern United States. Northwesterly winds behind yesterday's cold front have helped
to usher very cold temperatures into New England, with some spots struggling to get out of
the single digits today. Last night the temperature on the summit fell to 17 degrees below
zero, just 6 degrees shy of breaking the daily record low. With another very cold night in
the cards for much of the region, many are starting to question if Winter will ever end?
And if the cold temperatures weren't enough, many are buzzing about the threat of a mid- week snowstorm? And unfortunately, yes, there will be a storm. A disturbance racing across the nation's mid-section will phase with energy currently in the Gulf of Mexico, off the Mid-Atlantic coastline late Tuesday. As the system moves northeastward through Wednesday, it will rapidly intensify into a major ocean storm. The rapid intensification, otherwise known as 'bombing out', will result in very strong winds and heavy snowfall. Fortunately for most of New England, the bulk of the precipitation will remain offshore. However, extreme eastern Maine, as well as Cape Cod and The Islands will see a plowable snow and very strong winds.
The summit has received 55.0 inches of snow so far this month, nearly 10 inches above normal. If this weather pattern keeps up, we will certainly be adding to that total before the end of the month next Monday. For those of you who may be curious, we have seen 274 inches of snow since October, which is roughly 40 inches above normal! Will we hit 300 inches? Only time will tell.
Samuel Hewitt – Summit Intern
March continues to impress, in a decidedly wintry way up here on the summit.
Since our shift arrived on the summit Wednesday, we've received measurable snowfall every single day, while temperatures have averaged below normal for that stretch as well.
Wednesday evening's storm brought 4.2 inches of snow to the summit before midnight, with overnight winds whipping up the snow into a white-out.
Snow continued through the day on Thursday as the somewhat surprisingly-potent low pressure system passed through, producing 9.8 inches of snow through the day.
After a cold frontal passage on Friday, upslope snow showers continued through most of the day, dropping another 2.5 inches of snow. Visibility on Friday was as bad as it could be, with heavy blowing snow and thick freezing fog producing visibilities of less than 10 feet at times.
Yesterday, another low pressure system blasted through, and cranked out 4.7 inches more of the white stuff.
Today, another cold front combined with upsloping effects have brought another 2.3 inches of snow, for a 5-day total of 23.5 inches; nearly two feet! As it stands right now, March is already well above the monthly snowfall average, with more most likely on the way!
Ok, spring. We're ready!

On Thursday, Director of Research Eric Kelsey and I had the privilege of taking part in the New Hampshire Science and Engineering Expo. Dr. Kelsey judged the egg drop competition and the biochemistry category, while I judged the behavioral science category and was the keynote speaker before the awards ceremony. Boy did we have a great time.
Having both been nerds since grade school (and I say that proudly!), and participants in our science fairs growing up, Eric and I know just how important it is to get kids and teens involved in science, math, engineering, and technology. I remember being excited by science and the experimental process, and participating in my regional, state, and national science fairs as a kid. In my presentation I showed them a photo of myself in front of my 7th grade project, and told them a very real fact: if it weren't for my participation in science fairs as a kid, and the support of my family and teachers, I would not be where I am today. It was great to not only tell the audience, but show them, that their projects today could be their futures tomorrow or the start of a great career. I'm very fortunate to say that I am living breathing proof of that today.

Cyrena Briede – Director of Summit Operations
One year ago to the week, I wrote a comment about how winter does not want to come to an end. The Observer Comment talked about how spring was a few days away but forecast models were showing that another late season storm was in the making. Six days later that storm came through and dropped two feet of snow on the summit, and caused shift change to be pushed back a day. Now one year later, it is looking like we might have a repeat situation with a similar snow storm. Although spring has officially begun, the summit has received 13 plus inches of snow over the past 48 hours and an additional 3-6 inches of snow are expected in the next 48 hours. However, the end of our shift week looks like the best possibility of a significant snow storm for the New England Region. For the past few days, forecasting models have been showing a Nor'easter making its way up the east coast and into the gulf of Maine for Wednesday. If the current path holds true, then the worst of the Nor'easter will remain out to sea with its impacts mostly being seen in the coastal areas of New England. However, if the path of the storm shifts west by as little as 100 miles, it could lead to one of the more significant snow storms of the year, here in the White Mountains. This is still a few days away, but the models have been in agreement so far, and show the storm's path remaining further out to sea. We will continue to monitor the storm as it develops and update you with information as we get it. As always, you can go to the observatory's weather page to see the summit's current conditions and the region's weather outlook.

Although it may not feel like it today with snow and a wintry mix falling across northern New England, spring is still just around the corner. This spring we have a few great opportunities to become a part of the ever-growing Mount Washington Observatory community, all the while aiding our organization to continue the valuable scientific work done on this windswept peak for over 80 years.
We are currently recruiting volunteers with a passion for education to serve as week-long docents at our all-new Extreme Mount Washington museum at the summit. You will live at the summit for a week, interact with guests in the museum and lead unique educational programs as well. We provide training beforehand, and lodging/food while at the summit. You just provide yourself! Spread the word...this is an extraordinary opportunity for weather fans, retired educators, teachers on summer break, or anyone with an interest in science education.

An Evening with Ginger Zee will offer an intimate look at the world of storm chasing through the eyes of America's favorite meteorologist. Zee is Good Morning Americas Chief Meteorologist and Senior Meteorologist for ABC News, and will share the trials and triumphs of her ascension in the world of broadcast meteorology. The event will also feature a meet and greet with members of the WMTW News 8 Weather Team, and a silent auction including some great items such as a VIP snowcat trip to the summit and an international 5 day trip to Costa Rica. All proceeds from this special fundraiser will benefit the nonprofit Mount Washington Observatory, helping to support our work in weather observation, research and education on Mount Washington.
Finally, it is never too early to start thinking about Seek The Peak! Our largest annual fundraiser is July 18-19th, but registration is already open, so now is a great time to get started! With thousands of dollars in prizes, free giveaways, tours of our weather station, and a huge after party, it is a fantastic and fun way to spend a summer day in the mountains and help a good cause.
Tom Padham – Weather Observer/Meteorologist
I just looked at the calendar and there's still one DayTrip with space available. Traveling to the summit in the Observatory snowcat, you will have the opportunity to meet the crew, have lunch, tour our facility, and explore. If you can only plan on being in North Conway, consider visiting our Weather Discovery Center. With a full size model of our historic weather station you can feel what Observers felt as the wind shook the small space. Other exhibits will introduce you to the extreme conditions seen on the Summit.
Another fun activity that I recently enjoyed with my kids, was visiting the Mount Washington Auto Road and Great Glen Trails. With many fun activities such as cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and snow tubing, it is easy to make a day of fun. Even more interesting for me was taking my kids to experience what it's like to be on the mountain in winter. Because a full trip to the summit was not available, we took one of the Snow Coaches up to the halfway point on the road. As a Summit Observer, I have passed the Snow Coaches many times before; however, I had never been on one until this past Sunday. Paul our driver pointed out lots of interesting sights and talked about the mountain as we drove. Stopping just above 4000 feet we got out to take in the beauty that is Mount Washington.
It was a great day out with the kids!

Yet another beautiful day on the Rock-pile! With visibility at 120 miles for much of the day, we were able to see five states (MA, NY, VT, ME, NH) and two countries (the US and Canada; and many more if you count the dozens of country-named towns that surround the area). Despite more wild weather in the wintertime, our clearest days are during periods of cold high pressure in the winter. Although we can only report up to 130 miles for visibility, we can often see much farther than that. One of my co-workers has even seen as far as Cadillac Mountain on a particularly clear morning, a distance of over 150 miles! Due to the lack of moisture in the air, clear winter days generally have greater visibility than their summer counterparts.
Mike Dorfman – Weather Observer
March sixteenth should be averaging around 13F (-10C), however, that is not the case this year. From midnight until 1600EDT today, we have been averaging -8F (-22C). This alone is a notable departure, but if models pan out this afternoon and overnight, that average is about to plunge even lower. As high pressure continues to build in from the west, a strong northwesterly flow will continue to push cold northern air in, dropping lows to around -20F (-29C). And if projected lows do become reality, there is even a chance that today's daily record low of -19F (-28C) set in 1979, may be tied or broken. If all of this was the first cold spell of the year, it would be exciting; but this winter, it has been more of the norm than the exception and at this point, it is getting a bit worn out. And while I wish I could say that this was the last cold blast of the year, looking at modeled projections ahead, there's plenty of more cold weather ahead, regardless of what month the calendar says. But time changes everything, so, while it may be cold now, I know milder days lie ahead. So, with St. Patrick's Day around the corner, I'll raise a glass of juice (cause I don't drink) to milder days ahead!
Ryan Knapp – Weather Observer/Meteorologist
Winds are supposed to ramp up through the forecast period. With temperatures dropping
down, wind chills will drop down to as low as 50-70 degrees below zero. This will allow
frostbite to form on exposed skin in less than 5 minutes. This will make for some chilly
observations, but luckily our warm EMS
gear will keep us protected from the elements.
As I've said before, it's really impossible to imagine conditions like these until you've gotten yourself into them. Trust my words when I say that you really don't want to hike through 100 mile per hour winds. One might say that it's 'type II' fun (which is fun afterwards, but not during), but that is only true if you live to tell the story. It's not worth risking injury in an environment where you can't be rescued just to be able to tell a story. Always check our higher summits weather outlook before venturing above tree-line.

Today is Pi Day, March 14th, which if you know the numerical value of Pi equals 3.14. For the Observatory this also is a special day because it is Weather Observer Ryan Knapp's and our Director of Advancement Cara Rudio's birthday! So happy birthday from 6288 feet!
On a separate note Ginger Zee is coming to join the Mount Washington Observatory in Portland on April 4 at the Port City Music Hall to share her stories of wild weather and storm chasing. From WMTW-TV Channel 8, Maine's Total Weather Team will be on hand to meet viewers, plus Chief Meteorologist Roger Griswold will provide opening remarks. A great evening is in store for all who love the wacky world of weather! Tickets can be purchased today at PortCityMusicHall.com

Just over a foot of snow fell on the summit over the past 36 hours, drifting into some
really impressive piles around the summit building. As you may know, we measure
precipitation every six hours here at the Observatory, measuring the depth in a can
approximately 100 feet away from the summit building. On a clear summer day, collecting
the precipitation can is an extremely simple task (usually), but last night, Observer Ryan
Knapp encountered drifts
ranging from waist to chest deep.
We've used the same method for collecting precipitation for much of our history. We measure our precipitation every six hours, simply measuring the depth of snow or water in a can exposed to the precipitation outside. Surrounding this can, there is a piece of metal in the rough shape of an inverted cone called a Nipher Snow Gauge. This helps minimize the turbulence above the can in strong winds, helping to reduce the amount of snow that drifts into the can. Even with this additional protection, observers have to be very careful to make sure the amount of snow that is collected in the can seems valid. Even with the most advanced instruments, measuring snow in windy environments has proven extremely difficult. The problem lies in the fact that on mountaintops, snowfall direction is governed much more on wind than gravity.
Snow measurement is critical for several reasons here on the summit. We strive to be as accurate as possible to help the National Weather Service constantly improve their models. Differences between observations and model output for a specific time help the models better train themselves for future events, in turn helping us forecast more accurately. The amount of snowfall recorded on the summit will then indicate how deep the snowpack is by the spring and therefore how much runoff should be expected downstream when it melts. Lastly, it is an indicator, utilized by the Mount Washington Avalanche Center, to predict what the avalanche danger may be around the mountain, helping keep the public safe.
Whether or not you like snow, I hope everyone has successfully dug out there driveways and shoveled their sidewalks! With the added winds today, we will continue to work on the regenerating 5-foot drifts in the entranceway up here on the summit! Wish us luck!

I am thrilled to be back on the summit! After the conclusion of my Internship last summer I ended up moving back to Oklahoma where I took a job as a Support Meteorologist at a company known as Weather Decision Technologies. I spent just over six months in the Sooner State working alongside some wonderful people while providing technical and meteorological support to hundreds of clients and customers. I've since moved back to the Northeast, and now I'm happy to say, I'm back atop the summit of Mount Washington working as a Weather Observer and Education Specialist!
As if the excitement of my first day at a new job isn't enough, this morning when I arrived at the base of the summit to meet with our crew, I had the wonderful surprise of being unexpectedly greeted by two friends that I had met last summer during my internship. It was so great to see them again!
It's safe to say that I am back into the swing of things, although I'm finding out very quickly that the winter is very different from the summer up here. Regardless, I'm happy to be back and looking forward to the opportunities that lie ahead!
Kaitlyn O`Brien – Weather Observer/Education Specialist
With the impending storm on the horizon tomorrow, the traditional shift change day for summit staff, we've scrambled a bit to accommodate.
Despite the heartiness of the staff and our wintertime transportation (Meow, Snow Kitty!), the weather can still preclude shift change from occurring. In order to guard against the possibility of our shift being stuck an extra day (or maybe even two), we've decided on a bright solution. In fact, a bright-and-early solution! Our counterparts on the other shift will meet at the base of the mountain for a 6:30 AM departure tomorrow morning.
Hopefully, with a quick trip up and down in the Snow Cat, the other shift can settle in, and our shift can get to the base, before the height of the storm later tomorrow morning through the remainder of the day and night.
We're still expecting quite a bit of snow up here tomorrow with this system, with 18-24 inches looking likely, with locally higher amounts, possibly approaching as much as 30 inches!
Mike Carmon – Weather Observer/Education Specialist
As I was alluding to in an earlier comment this week, the hits seem to keep on comin' this winter, and another one is on its way.
Although it's a little further into the future than we usually forecast, computer models are agreeing strongly on the possibility of a major Nor'easter impacting the area on Wednesday-Thursday. The exact track and timing of this system are still in doubt, but on the whole, it looks as if major snow accumulations are becoming more and more likely for most of northern New England. Snow will probably begin sometime early Wednesday morning, and last through until Thursday morning. Winter Storm Watches have already been posted for nearly all of northern New England, and will most likely be upgraded to Warnings some time early tomorrow (Tuesday).
This is the latest in a seemingly endless winter of snow and cold. Up on Mt. Washington, we are already nearly three feet above normal for snowfall for this winter season, as of March 1st!
However, signs of the coming spring are on its way, as this storm looks to produce a rain-snow mix across southern NH and coastal ME, and probably a more heavy/wet snow scenario further north.
For more details on the forecast, keep an eye on our 36-hour higher summits outlook in the next day or two as the event approaches.
Mike Carmon – Weather Observer/Education Specialist
You know what they say about March, "If it comes in like a lion, it will go out like a
lamb". This statement mainly refers to the wide range of weather conditions that are
possible during this month. The spring months are a period of transition between winter
and summer. Because of this, it is possible to see snow one day and then rain and warm
temperatures only a day or two later. Looking back at the records, March of 2012 is a
perfect example of this here on the summit. Average temperatures for the first half of the
month were well below freezing and nearly two feet of snow fell. Then, from the 18th to
the 22nd, high temperatures were above 45 degrees, only then to fall back below freezing
for the last third of the month. In March of last year, a storm from the 19th-20th
dropped 24" of snow on the summit with temperatures in the teens. So far this year,
weather conditions have been quite calm with above average temperatures. However, the
quiet pattern may change this week…
Over the last several days, the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model has been hinting at the phasing of two weather systems across the center of the country as they head eastward. The combination of these systems would potentially result in a major winter storm for parts of New England in the Wednesday/Thursday time frame. With that said, there is still great uncertainty as to whether or not this scenario will play out. For instance, last Monday, parts of Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey were buried with close to 12" of snow. However, only three or four days prior to the event, all signs were pointing to that same storm producing heavy snow over New England. This just goes to show that anything can happen from now until Wednesday, but as an avid snow lover, I am hoping the ECMWF output verifies!
Samuel Hewitt – Summit Intern
After spending a few days in the clear, the summit has returned to the all-too-familiar foggy conditions we see so often up here. Being back in the fog made me wonder, how does Mount Washington compare to some of the foggiest locations on our planet? After doing a bit of research, it seems we may be right up there with many of the foggiest places on earth. According to most sources, the Grand Banks of New Brunswick are considered by most to be the foggiest place on earth, with an average of 200 or more days spent in the fog each year. The Grand Banks are in all likelihood not the foggiest place on earth, but perhaps the foggiest place on our planet that is largely inhabited.
A major reason for the Grand Banks being so foggy is their location near the confluence of the cold Labrador current flowing south from the arctic and the much warmer Gulf Stream current flowing north from the gulf coast. Mountains tend to be very foggy places due to adiabatic ascent, where warmer air from low elevations is forced to rise up and over the mountains, which cools the air to its dew point and produces clouds that cap the mountain peaks. Mount Washington is often cited as spending 2/3rd of our days in the fog, which equates to about 240 days, however there are likely many mountainous locations that experience a similar amount of days in the fog, if not more than we see up here on the summit. Most of these locations are uninhabited, and therefore data on their average annual foggy days is unknown. Still, it is rare for Mount Washington to go a few days without any fog at any time of year. Therefore, in closing, Mount Washington may actually be right up there with some of the foggiest locations on earth, and a day in the clear up here is something that should be enjoyed!

While the primary storyline of our new mountaintop museum is the mountain's
extraordinarily awful weather, one exhibit in particular requires video
footage captured on a good visibility day. The 6th of March was one of those
rare bluebird Mount Washington days. Bright sunshine, moderate temperatures
and little wind made for an ideal day to do some shooting for Extreme Mount
Documentarian Tom Guilmette of Franklin, Mass., whose work you will find sprinkled throughout the newly-renovated museum, paid us another visit with one mission to accomplish: capture video footage of a descent down the mountain from the snow-cat operator's perspective. That footage is absolutely critical, since it will be used to bring one of Extreme Mount Washington's most innovative exhibits to life.
You might think that this would be an easy thing to do, especially since we make several runs up and down the mountain in winter. The truth is that this particular shoot has been very difficult to accomplish. Fog, flat light, snow, white outs, schedule conflicts, too much snow, not enough snow, too much wind... It was beginning to feel like Mount Washington and Mother Nature were conspiring against us.
Using a high-tech mounting system and an even higher-tech camera, Tom sat alongside operator Slim Bryant in the cockpit of the Observatory's Bombardier BR275 snow machine and captured video for a good portion of the day. Utilizing very specific instructions from museum designers at Jeff Kennedy Associates and on-site guidance from Director of Education Michelle Cruz, Tom staged a superb shoot.
The footage will be used in Extreme Mount Washington's snow-cat exhibit, where visitors will be able to sit in a simulated cockpit and pilot the machine down the mountain. What you will see through the simulated snow-cat windshield in the museum is exactly what Slim and Tom saw through the windshield on Thursday.
Executive Director Scot Henley was on hand to provide a speaking role during the shoot, but you'll never be able to tell. In order to give museum visitors the feeling of bitter winter cold during the simulated snow-cat descent, Michelle outfitted Scot in Arctic-grade gear, complete with goggles, a balaclava, a hat and a massive jacket with a fur-lined hood. Not a speck of skin was showing, which is our standard practice to avoid frostbite on bitterly cold days. On this beautiful March afternoon, however, we almost melted Scot!
Now the focus turns to the editing room, where the footage will be stitched together to provide summer visitors with a compelling, authentic winter snow-cat experience. If you've ever wanted to drive one, you'll be able to get a taste of what Slim and our operators experience when they're making that same descent down the mountain.
Extreme Mount Washington opens this spring in Mt. Washington State Park's Sherman Adams Visitors Center.

If you were to judge strictly by the weather today, you wouldn't know that my place of work is often referred to as the 'home of the world's worst weather.'
It's true that we've seen our fair share of tumultuous conditions, but today, March 6th, contained nothing of the sort. In fact, today was the ultimate antithesis.
As I compose this comment at approx. 5:30 PM, we still have yet to report a single layer of clouds in any of our hourly observations since midnight. This is quite remarkable, considering our horizontal visibility today has ranged between 120 and 130 miles, which are just about maximum for our station.
In addition to the remarkably clear skies, winds have been quite tranquil throughout the day as well. Since 11AM this morning, hourly average wind speeds have been no greater than 9 mph, with the 11AM-12PM ranking as the calmest hour of the day, averaging a feeble 4 mph. In fact, there was a 3-minute period during the 11AM-12PM hour where the propellers on our incredibly-sensitive RM Young Anemometer were not turning at all. That's right--3 straight minutes of flat calm winds, which, in a place with a year-round average wind speed of 35 mph, boasting hurricane force winds every other day during the wintertime, is astounding!
What's with the calm, you ask? These effects are the result of a strong high pressure system in place over New England, which is also providing the valleys with this continued streak of very-cold temperatures. A slight warm up is in the cards over the next two days, but after that, unfortunately, for those who are ready for signs of spring, long-range numbers are not trending all too warm. Spring will have to wait a bit longer.

When talking to people about working for the Mount Washington I usually get a flood of questions
covering a variety of topics. There are two topics that normally arise in every conversion:
weather and food. Being that Mount Washington is known worldwide for its extreme weather I
always expected to get questions about the weather. I am usually surprised when people ask
me about what we do for food. Normally people are surprised when I tell them that I eat
normal home-made meals just like I do at home. They seem even more surprised when I tell
them that we have volunteers come up with us every shift week, and these volunteers help us
by cooking and cleaning through the week.
Many people ask me how they can become a summit volunteer after hearing about it; so I tell them that first they have become a member of the Mount Washington Observatory and then sign up for a summer volunteer week. The mandatory summer volunteer week is to make sure that everyone volunteering can handle cooking for large groups as well as the isolation of being on the summit for eight days. So if this is something that interests you, check out our volunteer page for more information.
Michael Kyle – Weather Observer
The past few days have been cold. If it were January, it wouldn't be nearly as noticeable, but it is early March, and things are supposed to be gradually getting warmer. Typically on the summit of Mount Washington, March's daily average temperature starts the month around 9F and ends the month around 18F. However, for the first three days of March, we are averaging 17.8F below zero; with day four likely keeping that average right about the same. While the cold continues short term, looking at the models, there is some hope for milder conditions this weekend; however, looking even further out, the Arctic cold returns for next week. Therefore, for now, the layering of clothing will have to continue with warm thoughts continuing in our minds and warm locations residing on our screen savers.
Ryan Knapp – Weather Observer/Meteorologist
We love to pride ourselves in our isolation and extreme weather, but there are a handful
of other locations around the world that are similar to the Observatory in terms of
extreme weather and remoteness. Here are just a few of them:
Summit Camp: This isolated camp on the Greenland Ice Sheet is constantly moving around with the glacier it sits on. In addition to observing the weather, they perform year-round research projects.
Sphinx Observatory: This location serves as an astronomical observatory, meteorological observatory and research station for scientists looking to do just about anything at high altitude in extreme environments. Perched atop a peak near the Jungfrau in Switzerland, it is only accessible by a train which travels up the mountain through a series of tunnels.
South Pole Station: There are various stations in Antarctica, including the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. Although it may not seem like it's located on a mountain, the station has an altitude of over 9000 feet above sea level! This is not due to mountains but instead extremely thick glacial ice covering the continent.
Although Wikipedia isn't the most trustworthy sources, it is helpful to get a general idea of a topic. If you want an interesting article on earth's extreme locations, visit here.
What makes the Mount Washington Observatory special, and very different from all of these other organizations, is that we're a non-profit that relies on receiving the majority of our funding from our members and other generous donors, not grants or the government. That gives us more flexibility to pursue our mission - to advance the understanding of the natural systems that create the Earth's weather and climate by maintaining its mountaintop weather station, conducting research and educational programs and interpreting the heritage of the Mount Washington region.
Mike Dorfman – Weather Observer
Last shift, I read an article on NPR
entitled, "What We Might Learn From Snoring Weather Cats." The article was based on
information contained in an 1883 book entitled Signal Service Notes, Issue 9. (The US Army Signal
Corps was a predecessor to todays National Weather Service; to learn more about how the US
went from the US Weather Bureau to the National Weather Service, you can click here). The short
article peaked my interest, so I downloaded the full copy of the book to my tablet and
have been reading it this shift week. The book is filled with popular weather proverbs
and prognostics, some very true while others are...questionable. One of the questionable
ones is a section dealing with proverbs/prognostics relating to animals. There are
proverbs/prognostics for beavers, cattle, pigs, squirrels, wolves, and, wouldn't you know
it, cats.
The section on cats was of interest since we have a resident cat up here by the name of Marty Kitty. Since we have a cat and we see foul weather up here frequently, what better place to study these various proverbs and prognostics. So, the proverbs/prognostics the book lists are:
When cats sneeze it is a sign of rain.
The cardinal point to which a cat turns and washers their face after a rain shows the direction from which the wind will blow.
If the cat is bathing in the sun of February, it must go again to the stove in March.
When cats are snoring, foul weather follows.
When cats are washing themselves, fair weather follows.
Cats with their tails up and hair apparently electrified indicate approaching wind.
It is a sign of rain if the cat washes their head behind their ear.
Cats clean table-legs, tree-trunks, etc, before storms.
When a cat scratches itself, or scratches on a log or tree, it indicates approaching rain.
If sparks are seen when stroking a cat's back, expect a change of weather soon.
When a cat washes their face with their back to the fire, expect a thaw in winter.
When cats lie on their head with mouth turned up, expect a storm.
Cats purr and wash…before rain.
This week I have been trying to observe Marty to see if any of the proverbs/prognostics listed are true. So far my observations of Marty Kitty are inconclusive. I rarely hear him sneeze, he is always bathing and is facing all directions when cleaning, he always sun bathes, I rarely hear him snore, even though we have humidifiers, he always seems to have static (electrified as they say), and he always sleeps on his back, good weather and bad. So, if these proverbs/prognostics are true, they do not hold true for cats on the summit of Mount Washington, Home of The Worlds Worst Weather. But they are something to think about and possibly observe elsewhere.
Ryan Knapp – Weather Observer/Meteorologist
As my shifts here on the Summit begin to dwindle, I find myself thinking about all the aspects of summit life that I will miss. The sunrises and sunsets, high winds, low visibility, crystal clear skies, and my coworkers. While my transition off the summit is bittersweet, I am looking forward to my new journey with Backpacker Magazine on their Women's Get Out More Tour. I could never take this experience for granted and will always be able to call the Summit one of my homes.

Good resource
posted 5 years ago
This is a good book for basic information on cat care, from picking out a cat to cat behavior and choosing a litterbox. I especially like that it has a chapter on why to keep your cat indoors that goes into all the reasons why it is healthier for cats to not be free-roaming. It also has great tables on dangerous and toxic plants, plus one on plants that are cat-safe, and medical information explaining what is an emergency and what may not be. All-in-all this is a good cat care manual worth investing in.
Pros: Good basic information
Cons: none that I can think of

Excellent source of basic cat care

This should be in every cat owner's possession. Cats are unique individuals, very different in dogs, in their response to life and it's stresses, particularly in the field of first aid, and training.
I'd reccommend this to anyone who loves and wants to keep a healthy cat.
Pros: easy to read, good photos
Cons: none

Good book
posted 5 years ago
Every cat owner should own this book. It covers most topics in regards to cat health, issues, diet, etc. However I feel it is basic and just a quick overview of topics. It will not provide very detailed information. But again, it is a great book for all cat owners to have on hand for reference.
Pros: very informational, covers all the basics
Cons: may be to basic for some

This is a painting by Rodolfo Loaiza and it's called Reencuentro — The Two Snow Whites. I'm in love. Unfortunately there are no prints available and I'm not in the position to spend two and a half grand on the original.
You can see more of his work here. And in the name of all that's holy, inform me if you ever see this available as a poster.
I love makeovers. And I'm kind of hooked on the UK show 10 Years Younger.
I can't decide which group of people is stranger: the ones who think they are above looking after themselves and see no worth in being attractive to themselves or someone else or the ones who would really really like to look nicer but just have no clue how to go about something like that.
When you see a woman wearing the wrong kind of a bra, like, you can see it all the way through her clothes, that's how big/small/otherwise inappropriate the damn thing is, is it really crass to mention it? I know it is, I just struggle.
I wish I had a job where I could dress up nice and wear serious makeup. No matter how casual I try to be, I still feel overdone sometimes.
If I ever become rich the amount of plastic surgery I will get is ridonculous. If my parents ever become rich I'll ask them for a new nose or new teeth for Christmas.
The better I become with makeup, the better I feel about the way I look. I don't necessarily feel any prettier, it's more like "Bitch, I don't care if I'm ugly, I'm fucking fabulous!".
I think I need more Sugarpill products to achieve all my potential in the fabulousness front, though. Nothing says pretty princess like ALL THE COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW SIMULTANEOUSLY ON MY FACE.
Have I mentioned how hard the people (mostly men) who say "I really prefer the natural look." or "But you look so much nicer without makeup." can go fuck themselves? Because they can. I'm a fucking artist and my face is my canvas, bitches. And fabulous does not need acceptance of others.
I'm in a Facebook weight loss group. Most of the other members are SAHMs. I feel out of place, because I actually go to work and have some sort of structure in my life with (somewhat) regular mealtimes instead of sitting on my arse eating all day. After next week I will be unemployed with no idea if/when I'll get another temping gig, so that should fix it.
You like Bailey's?
This has been an STM.
There's a movie adaptation of Life of Pi coming out later this year. It's directed by Ang Lee, so it has about 50/50 chance of being good, right?
And they've cast actual Indian people, not Americans with fake tans, so that's even better, right?
And then I went and watched the trailer and it looked like a big CGI turd. Oh what have you done to Richard Parker?
I noticed Joseph Gordon Levitt has finally started looking like a man instead of a cutesy 15 year old. That was nice.
I'd still go with Bane. Reasons:
Catwoman though. I've never liked Catwoman as a character. Any woman whose primary weapon is her cleavage is a little boring to me. But if that's her thing, then fine. Catwoman is sex and danger, alright then. I can understand what the people who saw Michelle Pfeiffer or Halle Berry as Catwoman were thinking. But Anne Hathaway, what in Christ almighty is that? She's not sex and danger, she is cardboard and air. She baffles me.
Not as much as Batman's voice though.
I wish I could feel more ways about things.

I've been loving this song ever since the ep version started playing in the radio last year and now I finally figured out who sings it (or my boyfriend got sick of me turning up the volume and being like "This my jam! I have no idea who it is though." and told me. Either way.)
It's Eva & Manu.
This was my day at work. And it wasn't even a holiday weekend.

Trying to stop bank robberies in Chattanooga, Tenn.
With robberies on the rise, bank security work with police to change the trend
Jason Michael Green stepped into the First Tennessee Bank a desperate man, authorities say.
Seventeen hours earlier on Dec. 10, 2007, the 27-year-old had scaled a fence at the Silverdale Detention Center, stolen a car and set about making a getaway, according to Hamilton County Sheriff's Department deputies.
At 11 a.m. that day, they said, he robbed the First Tennessee branch on Broad Street, which is just a few miles from the Interstate 24 on-ramp where he was captured.
Bank robbery is a growing problem in East Tennessee and elsewhere in the nation, according to the FBI.
"There were nine bank robberies in the first nine months of 2006 in Knoxville, and then we had 24 during the last three months," said Special Agent Gary Kidder, spokesman for the FBI office there.
FBI officials say most bank robberies occur at branches before noon during the workweek. More than half of those robbers demand money with a written note and claim to have a weapon, though only an eighth of them actually produce a gun, knife or bomb, according to FBI data.
In 2006, there were 17 such crimes in the Chattanooga area. Nationally, however, they occurred 7,000 times that year, the FBI reports. Robbers got away with $72.7 million, and authorities recovered only $11.2 million of that, according to the FBI.
In Chattanooga during the same period, the FBI reports banks lost $295,000 to robbers. About $200,000 of that was lost in one heist alone, records show.
"I hate to say it, but it's the dummies out there robbing banks," said Keith Sanford, executive vice president of First Tennessee. "It's a federal offense, and armed robbery is a much stiffer sentencing guideline than any other form of robbery and, again, if you are going to get 10 years in jail for $1,000, that's not much risk reward."
Of the 12 Chattanooga robberies in 2007, police have arrested suspects in seven, records show.
Though bank officials don't like to discuss specifics, many banks use high-tech security equipment: cameras, silent alarms and money baited with electronic trackers and dye packs.
Also, the FBI investigates the crimes, which means if you're caught it's a federal offense with stiff prison sentences and no chance for parole.
"I would say 90 percent of the robbers are desperate and on drugs," Special Agent Kidder said.
Most people in their right state of mind are scared off by the threat of federal prison time, said Special Agent Ed Galloway, supervising senior resident agent at the Chattanooga FBI office.
"Most people know that bank robberies are going to bring some pretty hefty prison sentences," he said. "And they know we're busy, but the FBI still takes bank robberies pretty seriously."
Special Agent Galloway said bank robberies usually are spur-of-the-moment crimes.
In Mr. Green's case, records show he was arrested four hours after the robbery. His hands were stained red from an exploded dye pack, police said.
In Chattanooga, security officers from local banks meet and share information on robberies and other frauds, Mr. Sanford said.
Bankers say they train their employees in how to spot potential problems, and they keep track of changing technology.
"As the old football coach says, the best defense is a good offense," Mr. Sanford said. "We've done a lot of training for our employees. We have state-of-the-art security systems, cameras, alarms, all that kind of stuff. We don't keep as much money in our centers as we used to keep because a lot more transactions are electronic now."

Marcus Lemonis, chairman and CEO of Camping World Inc. and Good Sam Enterprises LLC, and star of CNBC's The Profit, announced today (June 18) plans to open new AutoMatch USA SuperCenters in Bakersfield, Calif., and Avondale, Ariz., in late summer and/or early fall along with a new location in Ocala, Fla., by the end of 2014.
The expansion news comes on the heels of a recent announcement that additional AutoMatch USA SuperCenters would be opening in Salt Lake City, Utah and Fort Myers, Fla., in late summer 2014 after successful openings in the Chicago and Jacksonville markets.
AutoMatch USA specializes in foreign and domestic preowned cars of all makes and models, along with parts, accessories, service and collision. Customers receive customized Good Sam services such as extended service warranty, financing, insurance and roadside assistance. The first location opened in Chicago in January 2014 and was featured on the hit The Profit. The second location celebrated its grand opening in Jacksonville in April.
"We have the key elements necessary to build a robust preowned car business and increasing our presence in new markets is in alignment with the strategic growth plans we have for the company," said Lemonis. "We are constantly reviewing our footprint and evaluating where we can strengthen our automotive position across the U.S."
Lemonis began his career in the automotive industry and eventually became vice president of several auto dealerships in the Miami, Fla., area. Over the past 10 years, Lemonis has streamlined the RV industry, buying more than 100 RV companies from "mom and pop" dealerships across the country and turning them into Camping World RV SuperCenters.
Lemonis is Eyeing Purchase of Portillo's Chain
May 2, 2014 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
Marcus Lemonis, CEO and chairman of Camping World Inc. and Good Sam Enterprises LLC, said he is interested in purchasing Portillo's.
The Portillo Restaurant Group said earlier this week it is looking for a potential buyer for the Portillo's chain, which includes 38 fast casual restaurants selling hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches and other fare.
"I'm definitely going to be in the mix," Lemonis told the Chicago Tribune. "It's going to be a lot cheaper than the (L.A.) Clippers."
Lemonis has appeared on reality shows "Celebrity Apprentice" and "Secret Millionaire" and is currently starring in CNBC's "The Profit."
Lemonis said he would expect to pay a premium for the hot dog chain because it's "very profitable," well run and "fast-casual has kind of become en vogue again."
Fast casual chains sell food at slightly higher prices than fast food chains and typically make food to order. Chicago-based Potbelly went public in 2013. Other chains, such as Noodles & Co. and Zoe's Kitchen, are also now public. And Chipotle, which priced its 2006 IPO at $22 a share, now trades above $500 per share.
In 2013, sales at the Portillo's chain topped $300 million.

Lemonis Closes Out 2nd Season of 'The Profit'
April 17, 2014 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
Marcus Lemonis wants to help struggling entrepreneurs. If he gets rich and famous at the same time, that's just good business.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Lemonis, 40, is the chairman and CEO of Camping World Inc. and Good Sam Enterprises LLC, a recreational-vehicle and lifestyle company worth more than $2 billion. He is also the star of CNBC's "The Profit," a reality show in which he invests his own money into foundering businesses and attempts to them around.
Sound familiar? "The Profit" is a mash-up of reality-TV genres: one part Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, one part Shark Tank and one part Suze Orman Show. Lemonis's "People, process and product" catchphrase may be the entrepreneur's riff on Orman's "people first, then money, then things."
The show's second season, which wrapped on Tuesday (April 15), doubled the viewership of the first, according to Nielsen figures. A recent episode was the most-watched original series telecast in CNBC history, the network said.
Unlike the stars of most makeover shows, Lemonis has skin the game. And unlike the investors of "Shark Tank," who strike deals with entrepreneurs in need of funds to get on their feet, "The Profit" doesn't intervene until a business is in on its last leg.
"Distressed companies, if fixed, will yield a much higher rate of return than a well-functioning company," Lemonis says. "Higher risk, but higher reward."
Lemonis says he has spent $7 million on nine deals over 14 episodes. It's too early to tell how much return most of them will yield, but Car Cash, a vehicle-buying service he bought in the series' first episode, has made him $1 million so far, he says.
The ultimate goal, he says, is to roll up all of the "Profit" companies into a holding business—some to franchise, some to sell, others to keep. But it's Camping World and Good Sam, with nearly 6,000 employees and billions in revenue, that "define me," Lemonis says.

Lemonis Aids Meat Packing Firm on 'The Profit'
March 5, 2014 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
Camping World and Good Sam Enterprises CEO Marcus Lemonis of CNBC's "The Profit" previewed the show's next episode on the network's Squawk Box program Tuesday (March 4) morning.
Benzinga reported that the episode revolves around a striving meat packing company in serious debt, and its outcome reveals some of the strategy behind Lemonis' process.
"Hey, guys. We gotta talk. We got a problem," Lemonis said in a clip from the episode.
There's a $3 million hole that the business owners can't explain with just $30,000 in the bank; and Lemonis originally planned on investing his own money to help them dig their way out.
"Are you guys aware of that?" he continued.
They answer: "No."
"The deal that we made was based on $2 million in payables. Not $4 [million]. Right?…Guys, this is bad…This business is two weeks away from closing," Lemonis announced.

Lemonis Revamps Ill. Auto Dealer in 'The Profit'
February 27, 2014 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
In the first episode of the second season of The Profit, which aired Tuesday night (Feb. 25) on CNBC, Marcus Lemonis worked with Athans Motors, a former Morton Grove, Ill., luxury pre-owned car dealership, and developed a new business model called AutoMatch USA. Lemonis is chairman and CEO of Camping World Inc. and Good Sam Enterprises LLC.
According to a press release, the new auto dealership model will specialize in foreign and domestic pre-owned cars of all makes and models; parts, accessories, service and collision. Customers will receive customized Good Sam services such as extended service warranty, financing, insurance and roadside assistance.
Former real estate investor and car enthusiast, Pete Athans, sunk his entire life savings into building a high-end pre-owned car dealership, but financing a fantasy dealership left him short on cash and he struggled to fill his lot with cars.
Lemonis, the new owner, stated, "We're open for business and our first objective is to change the way customers shop for quality, pre-owned cars by offering a full service auto buying experience with sales, service and accessories."
Lemonis began his career in the automotive industry and eventually became vice president of several auto dealerships in the Miami area. Over the past 10 years, Lemonis has acquired more than 100 RV dealerships across the country, turning them into Camping World RV SuperCenters.
At the end of the episode, with a new management team in place, the dealership had converted to the first of many AutoMatch USA locations, specializing in cars for every budget and lifestyle.

Lemonis, The Profit Greenlit for Second Season
October 31, 2013 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
CNBC has greenlit a second season of the original reality series, "The Profit," ordering eight new episodes. The popular entrepreneurial series features Marcus Lemonis, chairman and CEO of Camping World Inc. and Good Sam Enterprises LLC, who saves struggling businesses while investing his own cash in the process. Broadway World reported that season two of "The Profit" premieres Jan. 21 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
"The Profit is deeply rooted in entrepreneurship, a hallmark of CNBC Prime," said CNBC President and CEO Mark Hoffman. "The Profit quickly proved to not only entertain viewers but Marcus Lemonis became a go-to for America's small business owners looking for expert advice."
When Lemonis isn't running his multi-billion dollar company, Camping World, he goes on the hunt for struggling businesses that are desperate for cash and ripe for a deal. In the past 10 years, he's successfully turned around over 100 companies, according to CNBC. Now he's bringing those skills to CNBC and doing something no one has ever done on TV before … he's putting millions of his own money on the line.
In season two, Lemonis continues to make offers impossible to refuse; his cash for a piece of the business and a percentage of the profits. And once inside these companies, he'll do almost anything to save the business and make himself a profit; even if it means firing the president, promoting the secretary or doing the work himself.
Lemonis Invests in Eco-Me on Next 'The Profit'
August 22, 2013 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
Marcus Lemonis, president and CEO of Camping World Inc. and Good Sam Enterprises LLC, will risk $2 million of his own money in the CNBC show "The Profit" during this week's episode, and invested a company called Eco-Me that's in debt, poorly marketed and inefficient.
According to a report by the Mother Nature Network, Lemonis "found a void in the marketplace for all natural cleaning products" and believed in the company's founder, Robin Levine. "But what needed to change was their broken sales and distribution process, and the supply side of the business—manufacturing and distribution," Lemonis said. "I changed the packaging and branding, creating an identifiable brand. And I cleaned up the balance sheet, which ultimately changed the way they operate."
The environmentally friendly aspects of Eco-Me appealed to Lemonis. "Green products work for everyone whether you are truly green or not. Who wants chemicals in their products? These products aren't as niche as the original packaging made it out to be," he said, noting that he uses them at home. "Sales are up tremendously since the episode taped, "but I do see small tweaks that could make it even better."
Not all of his "Profit" deals work out as well. "I don't invest in every company featured, but I wish all the companies well whether I invested in them or not," Lemonis said. "My biggest success actually with this series is meeting new people and helping them change their process and business for the better."
Looking ahead beyond the two remaining "Profit" episodes this season, he adds, "While I am not specifically looking for green companies, if a company meets my criteria then I would definitely consider for Season 2." He has already invested in natural manufacturers like organic snacks and gluten-free products.
Camping World Set To Enter RV Transport Biz
August 15, 2013 by Sherman Goldenberg · 4 Comments
In an effort to expedite delivery of some 30,000 units a year from RV manufacturers to Camping World Inc.'s 90-plus rolling stock stores, CW Chairman and CEO Marcus Lemonis says his Lincolnshire, Ill.-based company has decided to enter the RV transportation business — in a big way.
And although there are still plenty of details to be publicly fleshed out, CWRV Transport – in the planning stages for nine months now – has already done a wave of driver surveys in preparation for launching a billboard campaign this week (Aug. 12-16) around the RV-building center of Elkhart, Ind., to begin recruiting drivers in anticipation of a "game-changing" Sept. 1 launch.
The new transport operation is exclusive right now to CW dealerships, but, Lemonis says, could include other independent retailers at a later date.
"We are getting into the transportation side of the business, the logistics business, for the single purpose of improving our inventory turns," Lemonis, also CEO of Good Sam Enterprises LLC, told by RVBUSINESS.com. "So, today, it's not anybody's fault, but the process of getting inventory from the manufacturer to the dealer has really slowed up. And there's a shortage of drivers, and there's an increase in shipments.
"And when you have that confluence of issues, you know, we're seeing delays that could be 10 to 15 days from the time the manufacturer actually has the unit ready to the time we get it.
"What that means for us is we'll buy over the course of the year almost $800 million dollars of inventory, and when we look at missing one week, that's an appreciable cost. What we hope to do is cut the lead time from 14 days to seven or eight, and pick up that inventory, those dollars, and redeploy them at our new stores. We're opening 11 new stores in the next eight months. And as we look at ways to better manage our company, we know that we have to cut down on the lead times between the manufacturer and us."
In the final analysis, Lemonis claims CW's bold move into RV transportation ought to relieve pressure on manufacturers, his dealers and the other transportation companies who are "being yelled at and harassed to get stuff delivered."
A real key to the whole gameplan, meanwhile, is CW's plan to recruit drivers all over the country through its 1.5 million Good Sam Club members as well as four million Camping World RV and parts & accessories customers to whom CW will offer decent remuneration, fuel discounts and memberships.
The end result, Lemonis added, should be a greater pool of drivers for the entire industry, including other transporters.
"It's really a logistics business," he said, "and what we're doing is we're providing a pool of people from the Good Sam Club and current customers of ours who are looking for work. Retirees are looking for work; they like to get out on their own. And we're using our existing database to populate additional drivers for the industry.
"We think that Good Sam members and Camping World customers are perfect candidates for part-time transport work because they live the lifestyle – they understand it – and they're always looking for something to do. So, we really thought it made sense to kind of bring the RV consumer and the RV transport company together."
Although there will be an Elkhart office, Lemonis says Camping World is not setting up an entire infrastructure to facilitate its new transport initiative, but instead is "partnering with a number of people to kind of facilitate it." He declined to discuss further details about how this whole thing might work from an operational standpoint.
"This whole process is being run by people who understand the transportation business, not by Lincolnshire or Bowling Green (where CW runs its parts and accessories business)," said Lemonis. "This is a process that's being administered by people who know the space – out of Elkhart – people who know the transportation business and have really been recruited and positioned to help because shipments, in my view, are going to continue to go up."
Lemonis' 'The Profit' Loses Viewers in 2nd Show
August 9, 2013 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
After a decent premiere a week ago, CNBC's new weekly primetime business-makeover reality show "The Profit" took a tumble in the ratings Tuesday (Aug. 6).
Variety reported that Nielsen estimates that "The Profit," in which entrepreneur Marcus Lemonis pumps his own cash into a struggling business in a bid to turn it around, averaged 56,000 viewers in the adults 25-54 demo in its second episode — down a steep 64% from the 157,000 it pulled for its premiere. It held up better in total viewers, but the show's overall audience of 173,000 still represented a 32% decline from the premiere's 254,000.
By comparison, in the month of July, stripped weeknight series "American Greed" averaged 112,000 adults 25-54 and 252,000 viewers overall in the same 10 o'clock hour for CNBC. And in the 11 p.m. hour during July, "Mad Money" averaged 41,000 adults 25-54 and 103,000 viewers overall.
"The Profit" is CNBC's latest attempt at finding an unscripted hit, having yanked "Crowd Rules" in May after just two low-rated outings. "Crowd Rules" premiered to a mere 47,000 viewers, though, so by that low bar, "The Profit" is still looking OK.
Lemonis Contributes to Chicago's Joffrey Ballet
August 7, 2013 by RVBusiness · 1 Comment
The Joffrey Ballet announced that Marcus Lemonis, chairman and CEO of Camping World Inc. and Good Sam Enterprises LLC and star of CNBC's "The Profit," has made a substantial leadership gift to support and enhance the ongoing work of the Joffrey's Bridge Program, a dance education residency in Chicago Public Schools.
In recognition of this gift, the program will now be known as The Joffrey Ballet Lemonis Bridge Program, according to a press release. The Joffrey Ballet is led by Artistic Director Ashley Wheater and Executive Director Greg Cameron.
The Bridge Program provides Chicago Public School students in grades 1 and 2 with a highly structured dance experience where they develop life skills such as listening, following directions and respect; engage in creative expression; and practice physical awareness and healthy lifestyle choices. This program serves primarily African American and Latino children with more than 90% of the young students coming from low income households. It is designed to introduce children, who normally would not have any opportunity to explore classical dance, to the basic elements of classical ballet and may ultimately identify and train the next generation of dancers.
Lemonis' gift will guarantee that the Bridge Program – which currently reaches over 400 students each year – will continue to engage Chicago's children for the next decade while at the same time expanding the number of teaching artists, schools and students served annually.
"In light of the recent school closings and budget cuts in the Chicago Public School system, so much of the basic structure that the children need in their lives has been altered. Giving our youths a solid beginning can make a huge impact in his or her life and it has been proven that the arts positively impact our young people's physical health, discipline, focus and social skills," said Lemonis. "As a child, I was given an opportunity that enabled me to pursue my passions and I am honored to offer assistance to the Joffrey's Bridge Program as it is undeniable how valuable – how crucial – programs like this are to maintaining a balanced education and having a long-lasting positive impact for the children, who are truly our future. I encourage the community members and businesses to embrace and support this program."

Carbs (g)
Hi everyone,
I've been on/off paleo since May... The reason for my fluctuations being I was training for a half marathon, and in the early days I couldnt do my long sessions without feeling sick :( But the race is done now! And although I'm still racing, my next run is a little shorter, so my sessions dont need to be as long :)
Now, does anyone else keep an eye of the grams of carbs they consume, I seem to usually come in around the 60-85g a day mark...
How does this compare with others?
I don't really watch carbs, just eat whole foods. I glanced through my food tracker and I seem to get around 40g a day with 12-18g fiber average.
