MOUNT WASHINGTON â The staff of Mount Washington Observatory have adopted a new cat, Nimbus, who will be living on the summit of Mount Washington.
Cats have been a part of the observatory family since its founding in 1932. Prior to the New Year, our summit weather station lost its longtime resident cat Marty, who was beloved by MWO staff, Mount Washington State Park employees, and thousands of visitors from around the world.
