Which New England mountain range contains Mount Washington, famous for extreme weather?

The New England mountain range containing Mount Washington is the White Mountains.

The White Mountains form a major section of the northern Appalachian Highlands, covering much of New Hampshire and extending into western Maine. Their most famous summit is Mount Washington, which rises to about 6,288 feet and is the highest peak in the Northeastern United States.

Mount Washington belongs to the Presidential Range, a subrange within the White Mountains. The summit is notorious for rapidly changing conditions, powerful winds and whiteout hazards. On April 12, 1934, the Mount Washington Observatory measured a 231-mph wind gust, a world record for surface wind speed until 1996 and still a benchmark for non-tropical-cyclone winds.

The range’s high elevations include alpine tundra, while glacial erosion created features such as U-shaped notches and cirques. The White Mountain National Forest, established in 1911, protects much of the area. The Green Mountains are in Vermont, and the Taconic Mountains and Berkshire Hills are separate Appalachian-related ranges, so they are not the answer.
