This camera is located in South Boulder and is set up for the March 12-14, 2021 snow storm. Lot’s of hype around this storm, let’s see if it produces the snow!

The timelapse can been seen for a longer time period at Patio Furniture Cam time-lapse video | webcam.io and daily videos are on the YouTube channel at Boulder Snow Cam – YouTube

The Louisville timelapse from April 3rd is a nice example of spring in Colorado.  We had 4-5 inches of snow overnight and by afternoon it was almost gone.

Using the year ago filter you can see it was almost a repeat of the previous year.

Lots of monsoon moisture the past few weeks in Boulder!  We even saw a flash flood warning today.  I caught this nice sunset from July 31st, ending the great summer month of July.  A few of the other photos in the archive are also very nice.

I’m a bit behind on this post, but back in late June there was a tremendous lighting storm over Boulder and Louisville in the evening.  So much lighting that even with the 30 second refresh rate I was able to snag a photo of a lightning bolt from the Superior cam.   The archives don’t capture night shots but sometimes you’ll see some interesting moon shots, lights or lightning.

Wednesday morning was a really spectacular sunrise.  The mountains were coated in 12-14″ of new snow and there was a short window of bright sun.

March 26 was a good snow and a nice sunrise also.  Luckily, the snow melts really fast this time of year!

Some highlights from 2012.  The Boulder fire was one of the more exciting moments, luckily the fire was mostly contained and didn’t cause too much damage.

Welcome 2013

 

Beautiful weather this morning in Boulder as a storm moved through then the sun came out.  Looking east from Boulder was better but the webcam view to the west has some nice shots today.

This wave of snow in the early afternoon was pretty cool.   The time lapse was also good today but it seems a little choppy. It didn’t capture the interesting weather today as well as I’d hoped.

Video and Archive

I finished updating the images for Oct 19th to Dec 29th last night.  What a pain!  Some days are missing due to problems with the old image capture code.   Hopefully, this will be the last time as we’ve also finished some changes to improve the code.  The site will now capture images every five minutes throughout the day and at the end of the day automatically get the daily video about 35 minutes after sunset.   Once everything is smoothed out with this project next up is an update the site design and adding back the large images.  The last designers made everything fit a smaller screen but that doesn’t really give the full effect.   You can see the full size image here.
