I thought it’d be cool to point a webcam out my living room window and stream the coming winter storm that we’ve been promised.  If it fails to show up, we can all be disappointed together.  if it hits, it should be a beautiful display of heavy snow.  Should be interesting to see how the cars handle the snow on this intersection.
