Arrow Weather Cams

I recieved a call from my friend in Saskatoon yesterday. He said, "Have you seen the weather here?" He said, "It's snowing" "go look!"




so I did and this fine live cam is what I found. Sasakatoon is like Nebraska here so it was no suprise it is snowing. :p





[edit- see image from link. At the time I viewed it there were two students walking across the university campus. I fell oddly like a spy. They have no idea someone from the usa is peering at them!!]

Please post your weather cams from where you are.

The "Constitution Cam," a couple of blocks away from me. It's a beautiful day in Philadelphia, though I wish we had snow...I love snow.

well according to the clock on the cam it is 1:27 am. Needless to say it is dark. I can't see a thing.

I'd like to see Philadelphia.

I've been up there to watch them fishing across from what used to be the Outlet Mall, downstream from the power plant. Great fun.

What do they do with the ex-Outlet Mall?

A coworker of mine is an avid eagle cam watcher and all round nature watcher. I guess there are baby bear cubs to be watched now.

Ok this only shows the sky every hour, and it's not the city centre, but the rest of the info is quite detailed.
This is based about 2 miles from where I live.

It's a tree. :P
No really the graphs are interesting.

Now can you find one with an interesting building?

Not locally - I found some, but the fact they still show daylight and leaves on the trees suggested they weren't keptup to date.

There are plenty in London of course, but they don't share my weather...

This is Nottingham which is about 30 miles away. I can't tell what the webcam shows as it's dark! I'll check it tomorrow and see if it's more interesting than a tree

The closest weather/traffic cam to me is on the Eagle Tavern, in Eagle PA, but it doesn't seem to work, for me anyway...

Here's a list of local 360 tours that are pretty cool though.

Those are great!
Especially love the trail in the Autumn.

I thought that it was the American-ness of it that made everything seem to widely spaced and empty to my European eyes, but I think perhaps part of it is the format as I found these tours of Leicester, and even they seem quite spacious!
