We haven't done a round of webcams for a while, and I thought those who can get to them during our daylight hours (about 8am to 5pm right now, and I think we are at GMT minus 5 hours) might enjoy the NOAA (National Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration) webcams for the Great Lakes Environmental Research station.
http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/webcams/ At this address you will find thumbnails for 7 webcams, 4 on Lake Michigan at Muskegon, 1 looking at Chicago, 1 in Alpena, Michigan, and 1 in Toledo, Ohio. If you click on any of the thumbnail photos, they will take you to larger pictures. The Muskegon links also show more information, for example the latitude and longitude of each station, height above sea level, and links to current weather conditions. In summer I often see boats going in and out of the channel, but I don't think you'll see any today! At 22 deg. F (about -5 C), we don't get many pleasure boaters. And at that, the temperature has gone up all day: yesterday the high temp. was about 14 deg. F. Definitely mitten weather, and sometimes I do work my thumb out of the mitten thumb to warm it up in the mitten body!
