If you happen to be on the summit of Mt Washington right now, and you step outside, you would have a plausible case for being one of the only people on the planet to have experienced the Polar Vortex (a stratospheric phenomenon) firsthand

INSANE conditions on Mt Washington, NH. 120mph+ winds and -95°F wind chill. It is above the tropopause, meaning that these are stratospheric winds.
