Talking Ice on Black Cat... and Mount Cam

About WMUR's Meredith Bay Cam, I called News Director Andrew Vrees and left a voice mail. He called me back this morning. He said the Meredith Bay Cam is a TV camera. Due to "technical issues," Vrees said the camera can't be put on the web. Offering a simplified explanation, he said the camera transmits to the station (in Manchester) via microwave feedback--rather than an internet connection--and the camera itself isn't on all the time. I guess that means Meredith Bay is still waiting for a webcam!

IG, I'm also eager to know how thick the ice is in front of my house (i.e. get back from my trip to MA tonight.) When I left on Monday afternoon, it was about 1/2 inch thick.

RG, I share your enthusiasm for the "Mount" mobile cam! That thought popped into my head as I was doing the pre-purchase research for the Winnipesaukee WeatherCam in October.

On the cam setup ideas, I didn't know some of those cams rated for +40 were running in unheated enclosures! That's good to know!
