Shots of the Day: 19.02.08

Well, it was good to have a clear sky again. As you can see in the summary page below pretty much everyone was enjoying blue sky all over the province. The parts you can see at least. It would appear that dramatic changes in humidity and temperature play havoc with the cameras with five of them down today.


Even more distressing however was that the much appreciated Coytown - Sheffield camera stopped working today after one day in service. After 1:54 PM it was the same image for the rest of the day.

It is amazing what a day of warm rain will do to a thick layer of snow. Almost any location would show the same thing but these two photos of the farm on Copp Loop pretty much sums up the difference.

I got a kick out of the live video feed from the Confederation Bridge today. In the morning the ice was moving very fast north to south (left to right in the photo below). You could see the ice moving in reael time and piling up on the bridge supports with large sheets lifting and fracturing.


Then in the afternoon the ice was flowing just as hard in the opposite direction. What is strange about this picture is that there is a small car behind the truck and I have no idea what they were thinking but they were very close to the back of the truck. People not like us.
