Hi Audrey, I depend on your Forecast. I am an outdoor type of person. Playing Softball on Weekends, Running, Shopping with my daughter. Just to name a few. The rain, heat, cold does not scare me. Especially the last few weeks with all this rain.

Hi Audrey,
My Name is Chris Mahon and I am trying to raise funds for the Mount Washington Weather Observatory. This may or may not be the best place to ask. I will be climbing to the summit of Mount Washington this Saturday 7/25/09 in order to raise funds for the well respected weather reseach observatory. The observatory relies soley on donations to survive and continue its role in the meteorological society. I am hoping that you may forward this message onto your team of meteorologists as I am sure they too can appreciate the importance of Mount Washington. Donations may be made at my website which is http://www.seekthepeak.org/mypage/chrismahon. Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated. The reason I am reaching out to WWOR 9 is because unfortunately due to the economy many people have been holding back on donations and I really would like to be able to help the observatory reach thier goal. It has been a tough road so far trying to obtain donations so now I am trying anything. Please if you can forward this to your meteorologists it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Chris Mahon
Northern, NJ
