The First Snow of the Season

There have been minor snow squalls around northern NB in the past little while but nothing that stands out and nothing that stayed on the ground.

Until yesterday. It would appear that the ground temperature was finally low enough to allow the snow to accumulate. The heaviest snow was in the south east to north east of the province from Moncton to Glenwood.

Moncton is still fooling around with its cameras and has changed to a Flash image that is near real time. It makes image capture a bit of a hassle but they also had their cameras pointed directly into the snow storm as well.

All in all I just liked this image ...

A Turn of the Season

The season has turned here in New Brunswick. Autumn was beautiful and mostly dry with some absolutely spectacular foliage. A couple of late wind / rain storms stripped the trees bare in less than a week and all that is left now are some isolated trees holding on for just a bit longer.

Your faithless blogger has been onto other things and only recently taken to knitting up the 'ravelled sleeve of care. I saw that the highway cameras have returned to their 20 min interval images and thought to take a set. I did capture the odd web camera photo over the past few months but really the low readership and my own interests have gone elsewhere.

I would note that Moncton has gone web camera in a big way with new views of Main Street looking both East and West, Centennial Park and the construction of the new stadium. They obviously took their cue from Fredericton's EZone cameras. Moncton has played around a bit and for a long time they had an uninformative view of a corner of the City Hall property. Just like the Fred Ezone cameras though they have a continual up-date that makes the images a bit more dynamic. I do like the almost calendar image that the Centennial Park camera gives.

Really otherwise the web cameras reveal New Brunswick to be a quiet place with little regular traffic. The CBC Saint John Harbour camera will catch the odd cruise ship.

And this is what the web cameras in New Brunswick revealed today ...
