Well we didn't get the snow that had been forecast but we got the ice.Ice pellets began falling yesterday in the early afternoon and continued into the evening.This morning everything has a coating of ice on it and roads are reported as being quite slippery.Temps are expected to rise today and we are supposed to get rain...lots of rain.Cooler for tomorrow with flurries and the rest of the week is not looking too bad.
I made a few changes to the cam site.Check them out and let me know if there are any problems.The west cam will be pointing more skyward on clear nights and it's low light sensitive so watch for meteorites,etc.You may even see the ISS or one of those 'fireballs'.
There may be a short period when the cams will be offline as I transition them to another computer.
