Caught on video, Mount Washington in New Hampshire experienced a wind gust that exceeded 100 mph Tuesday morning.

Shortly after 4:00 a.m., a 103.6 mph wind gust was recorded at the top of the ultra-prominent mountain, per FOX Weather. According to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, gusts of that power register as strength on par with a Category 2.

The majority of places would consider these kinds of winds to be bizarre, however, this is business as usual for Mount Washington, which is known to have the “world’s worst weather.”

According to the Mount Washington Observatory, the area gets its nickname due to its storm tracks, exposure and prominence.

At 6,288 feet to make it the highest point in the Northeast, ground friction doesn’t slow down winds, and as a result, they blast the mountain at peak intensity, per FOX Weather.

Per the observatory, the mountain is often impacted by severe weather, which unleashes 100 mph winds and historic precipitation on occasion.

Time-lapse video from Tuesday shows the almost-whiteout conditions on the summit of the mountain.

Around 4:00 a.m., precipitation moved through, smacking the camera lens with water droplets, according to FOX Weather.

Though it’s hard to see wind gusts on video, visibility seemingly lightened up as the mountain was hit with the powerful winds.

Forecasts had wind speeds at 70-90 mph, while gusts reached 110 mph, per FOX Weather.
