I'm a tiny bit familiar with Mount Washington but I didn't think that was the mountain in the picture. That’s what happens when I think. Maybe the pic was taken far away.
If I’m not mistaken I believe Mount Washington used to hold the world record for the highest wind speed ever recorded. I believe that somewhere in Australia now holds that record.
Federal express has been more reliable in my experience. UPS is notorious for poor service here.

@jakedduck1 you forced me to google to confirm what you said, and you are correct.
“For nearly sixty-two years, Mount Washington, New Hampshire held the world record for the fastest wind gust ever recorded on the surface of the Earth: 231 miles per hour, recorded April 12, 1934 by Mount Washington Observatory staff.” I think I had heard that at one time but i forgot.
I do remember, way back when I was single and working someone presented the challenge of where the lowest recorded temperature had been. It was Snag, Yukon! I just checked and now Snag is still the lowest temp ever recorded in Canada.
