A Seasonal Tap on the Shoulder

The autumn is waning to late autumn and the foliage while still beautiful is looking a bit faded and thin. And Oh yeah we have had our first snow of the year that collected on the ground this past Friday.


This is the image from today that I liked the most.

From HWY241010


The cameras seem to be operating normally. There are a couple of cameras out ... Beaver Harbour has a frozen image, Moncton Centennial Park would have been lovely this past month but it went and never came back but the biggest loss would have to be the St Andrews camera which gave some beautiful NB images. There are a lot of spider webs with the most spectacular on the Fredericton Officer square but the Fredericton airport gets honorable mention because in the right light your can really see the structure of the web. In any event pretty soon it will be snow everywhere. Until then ... this is what the province looked like this afternoon.

Beauty Before Bleak

Best time of year to be in New Brunswick. The Highway cameras do not do the foliage justice but that is not their function. Salisbury has been out for a while and is just back. Some of the cameras appear to be switching over to a winter refresh cycle with a new image every 20 minutes where it has been hourly over the summer. For all that as I have remarked before the camera are mostly witness to empty highways, little traffic and no wildlife. This is what the province looked like today.
