Current conditions at the West Lethbridge weather station

Latest view from the Whoop-Up Drive camera, looking west toward West Lethbridge

Well howdy! Glad to see you here at my personal weather station, West Lethbridge Weather. Around here the weather can change in a heartbeat: winter jacket in the morning, shorts and sunscreen in the afternoon, and wind under 100 km/h (62 mph) still counts as a “gentle breeze.” I built this station in 2007 and added the Whoop-Up Drive camera in 2012. Please have a look around, and I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks! Gary, 73 de VE6CV · Read the whole story ›
