Default 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?? Okay, fine. After I saved the edit, it updated. As my DH says: "Computers hate me."

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! 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.

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

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?

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! But after Friday we start gaining again - YAY!
