What's it like trying to do your job when you work at the home of the "world's worst weather"? Recent video captured winds of over 100 mph blowing workers across the top of Mount Washington, New England's highest peak.

"In the midst of making sure instruments were working well, the summit crew took some time to show us (safely) what 100mph winds looked like... and had some fun doing it," the Mount Washington Observatory posted to social media on Friday.

The video showed wind-blown employees sliding across the very top of the 6,288-foot New Hampshire mountain. The crew can then be seen struggling to even crawl in the face of triple-digit wind gusts.
