Mount Washington is the only place I've ever been where the buildings are held down by chains to keep the wind from moving them.

I just checked weather.com for Linville (close to Grandfather) and it shows 0 degrees F at 7 AM. So, yes, maybe -10 on the mountain.  I bet Mitchell is similar.

It's gorgeous this morning. Squeaky snow and -9 when I went out in my housecoat to get the paper.
