The recent post in the Wikipedia community about the Trojan Room coffee pot got me thinking: are there any interesting webcams still running on the web? If so, do you have any favorites?

Aside from my local ski area I didn’t think I could name a single webcam still running.

    so you could watch traffic and brace for the ordeal before driving off to work.

    I forgot about traffic cameras. My region’s highway department has webcams along the major mountain passes. This was good reminder; I will need to check them in a few weeks before I drive through the mountains!

    You can turn on the TV and watch those ski resort webcams at like 5am or 6am on TV

    This would actually be better than most of my local broadcast TV.

      Oh, well. It’s certainly better than the following program. I believe it’s followed by the news and then some documentaries about nature and places around the world. The other channels go downhill fast. Some “breakfast” TV show with some poor souls who have to get up early to do some meaningless happy talking, recipes and maybe invite someone who once met a celebrity… Followed by a re-run of yesterday’s local news and other random stuff that’s cheap or still in the VHS deck… Idk. I suppose it’s meant for some 95yo bedridden grandmas who can’t escape. I believe no sane person with working limbs would turn on any broadcast TV in the morning.
