Makes you wonder how the wild animals survive out there in the wilderness.

According to the National Weather Service, the troposphere could dip below the summit of Mount Washington late Friday night or early Saturday morning, which would mean the observatory could be located in the stratosphere for a brief time. The stratosphere is the second layer of Earth's atmosphere.
Observers said they expect wind gusts topping 100 mph Friday night and Saturday morning, with wind chills as low as -110.
