MRDC Finally Fixes Its Cameras ... Or Does It?

Late Wednesday night a routine check of the highway cameras revealed that the three MRDC cameras had come online. There is the old familiar heart breaker at Coytown - Sheffield:

It would appear that they have fixed the field of view issue and returned the camera to its original exciting landscape narrative and even in the dark the camera show good focus and view of the road surface. It is interesting to note that the camera seems to be on a minute by minute update similar to the cameras that the CBC has it St John or the Fredericton Fred E-zone cameras. Our hopes soar.

MRDC also brought the two other cameras online. The Longs Creek camera just did not have anything in its image to record while the Salisbury camera did give a dim image and looks like it might be interesting.

But, we have to remember the heartbreak of MRDC history with its highway cameras. Wouldn't you know that the day after they bring the cameras online we get a freezing rain storm and this is what we see:

Coytown - Sheffield

Salisbury

Long's Creek

I don't know why we let MRDC get our hopes up like this. Oh well, I guess we will see over the next few days if we have a simple case where the MRDC geniuses managed to point all their highway cameras into the prevailing wind (and so these cameras will be useless any time the weather is bad) or that all three cameras have moisture inside the cases (and will be useless anytime the humidity is high). Oh well.
