TUFTONBORO, NH – Conservation Officers battled slick trails and messy weather to rescue a hiker in Tuftonboro this weekend. Fish and Game officials say that on Saturday Patricia Tarpley and her husband along with their three dogs were hiking with friends on Mt. Shaw, when she fell injuring her right shoulder.
Her companions were worried about her wellbeing so they called for help. Conservation Officers responded and hiked approximately two miles on trails that were a mix of ice and packed snow to reach the group. They then assisted Tarpley to her vehicle arriving safely a few hours later.
Fish and Game Officials said the hikers were well prepared for the conditions carrying micro-spikes, trekking poles and additional layers of clothing including rain gear.
They added that this incident is a good reminder to all people recreating in the outdoors to dress appropriately, hike with a partner or group and carry necessary equipment.

NORTH CONWAY, NH – The Mount Washington Observatory is celebrating the anniversary of one of the fastest wind speeds ever recorded.
Thursday marked the 84th anniversary of the recording a record shattering wind speed of 231 mph on Mount Washington. On April 12, 1934 the fastest wind speed ever recorded on earth was on Mount Washington and to this day it stands as the highest wind speed ever observed directly by people.
The record was broken when a weather station in Australia, recorded a 253-mph gust during Typhoon Olivia in 1996.
The Weather Discovery Center in North Conway is celebrating Big Wind Day this Saturday with an open house.
Explore exhibits, including the brand new hurricane simulator that lets you experience hurricane force winds.

ALBANY, NH – An elderly man was hurt in an Albany car accident that left the vehicle over a hundred feet into the woods.
According to the Carroll County Sheriffs Office at around 7:20 this morning they were called by a passing motorist who spotted a car in the woods off of Route 16 in the area of Love Joy Marsh.
Corporal Perley of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office said that the vehicle was headed north bound when it crossed the center line and left the roadway on the south bound side, going airborne and traveling 126 feet into the woods.
The Conway Fire Department had to extract the driver from the vehicle. He was then transported to Memorial Hospital and from there taken to Maine Medical Center sue to the severity of his injuries. The victims name was not released by news time barring notification of family.
The accident remains under investigation at this time, but authorities believe that the cause of the crash was fatigue.
