Webcam from the Far North!
 

This is purely so those of you who live where it isn't yet cold, dark and snowy can feel better about your weather! :) It's the view from the roof above the front door of the library in Palmer, Alaska (about 50 miles NE of Anchorage) where I am the director. Enjoy!
Edit: the image doesn't seem to be updating as it did in the other thread - weird. If you click on the link you'll see the current conditions. Don't ask me why the sun looks blue?? :shrug: Okay, fine. After I saved the edit, it updated. As my DH says: "Computers hate me." :lol:

Thanks, Pat! I'm feeling better already :)

This is too cool! Thanks, Pat!! :D

So why is the sun BLUE?
At least we know you still have some sun even if it is weird!

I think it's something to do with the reflection off the camera mounting or the metal roof. But hey, you know, we do things differently in the north! :rofl: Also to make you feel better, we had only 7 hours 16 min of daylight today, but 5 weeks to the shortest day (12/21) and then we start getting longer daylight hours again.

Hi Pat,

I LOVE this shot! Today was unseasonably warm around here, i believe we hit 18 C!!

Rabbit

Bump.

I thought you'd have more snow! You need a thermometer on there, too...just to make us feel better :rofl:

I notice everyone seems to drive trucks! But I also thought trucks were really bad in the snow unless you weighted down the backs with something more than just snow. I guess because it's rural everyone needs trucks to take care of their land, right?

Hey, where is your snow???

Liza

:mad: It's at my house!

Ah, the snow. After it fell, we had some wind and it all blew away - honest! As for the trucks - it's the macho thing to do. And yes, they are very squirel-ly in the snow, but the guys will have them.....

Today it was 40 at 7 am, so I imagine we lose more snow. It sure makes for sloppy driving.

By 3 o'clock it was gone ... now it's back. Such is life in the lee of the lakes.

Bumping for Rabbit - we have lots of snow - and plenty of it! Also plenty of darkness. Official daylight is after 10 am! :eek: But after Friday we start gaining again - YAY!

It sure does look dark! So sunrise is at 10; is sunset at 4?
