Canadian Weather Community Forums

Thought it might be a good idea for folks to add their links to useful weather webcams.

Why? Generally I and many others find it extremely useful when a significant weather event is happening, a webcam is always a useful tool. This saves trawling the net looking around, only find the cams are dead or the links are broken.

List them here: Make sure they work, they are a direct link to the cam and not to a huge list of webcams. Good idea to the mention where the cam is!!, and if possible which direction the cam is looking toward. Image linking is not so good, remember many are still using dial-up.

PS: Try and keep all cams you find in the same post, IE: Just edit your post and add the new links as you find them, this saves looking through several pages.

For starters, and my favourite...

The Prince Edward Island, Canada Confederation bridge cam. Excellent streaming cam that requires windows media player.

A good webcam in Vancouver, BC is:

The owner of the camera likes to use the page to rant on about rubbish, but scroll down and you will find a great image [!--emo&:)--][img src=\'http://www.maritimesweather.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'smile.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

Usually looks SW over Burrard St Bridge and False Creek, although it sometimes is turned W to look towards the West End.


Another decent cam is in Banff, AB

[a href=\'http://www.banffgondola.com/cam/default.htm\' target=\'_blank\']http://www.banffgondola.com/cam/default.htm[/a]

Located on the summit of Sulfur Mountain, overlooking the town and Bow Valley.

There is nothing like watching a snowstorm engulf new york city in winter, I always watch this streaming camera as the quality is good and it includes sound. there is tonnes of other options here as well as interactive features allowing you to pan and tilt some cameras:

MY cam in a tiny village in the southern Yukon is at [a href=\'http://www.yukonalaska.com/webcam/webcam/\' target=\'_blank\']http://www.yukonalaska.com/webcam/webcam/[/a] - as well as the current conditions, you can see examples of our year-round weather at [a href=\'http://www.yukonalaska.com/webcam/webcam/camalbum.htm\' target=\'_blank\']http://www.yukonalaska.com/webcam/webcam/camalbum.htm[/a]

A big part of my "virtual travel" is cruising through the dozens of other cams around the circumpolar North that I have linked from my site at [a href=\'http://www.explorenorth.com/photos.html\' target=\'_blank\']http://www.explorenorth.com/photos.html[/a]

Not very clear unfortunately, but here`s a live cam from Yellowknife, NWT. It`s a Java applet viewer, so is quite grainy, but you get the general idea of what the weather doing up there.

Three of our favorite UK webcams: the ones most likely to show snow!

View looking north from the Ptarigan Restaurant, near the summit of Cairn Gorm in the Scottish Highlands. This is the highest webcam in the UK at around 3,500ft.

Hi Everyone,

My webcams, on the eastern shore of Nova Scotia, are at [a href=\'http://www.drumheadweather.ca/webcam/\' target=\'_blank\']http://www.drumheadweather.ca/webcam/[/a]. I also have a link on that page to a few other Atlantic Canada webcams. Of course, my weather station data is also available on my site.

Cheers,

Danny

I`ve just orded a cam from ebay, so in the next week or so I hope to get a Moncton cam online. Possibly the first for the city that I know of [!--emo&:unsure:--][img src=\'http://www.maritimesweather.com/forums/html//emoticons/unsure.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'unsure.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
