History: The
Cam started around 1996 when I worked
in Colorado Springs at 6000 ft and live near Woodland Park in a
former
Mom and Pop Ski resort called
Holiday Hills. At 10000
ft or so it could be raining or even sunny in the Springs and
dumping a couple feet of snow at the house. After getting
stuck coming up the pass a couple times I decided to build a simple
"email me a pic" system of the back yard during suspect days.
Running on Windows 95 and a dial up modem it was occasionally a help
for weather spotting. As time went on it grew to an automated Cam
with weather reporting and of course a simple web with pics of the
local area. Hard to believe it has been over 10 years!

And then:
A couple
 years after starting the
Cam we got stationed in Hawaii where
I ran the Pearl Harbor Web Cam featuring live streaming video of the Arizona
Memorial for over 5 years. During that time the
Aloha
Cam captured
not one flake of snow?
 Meanwhile Mr. Scott Vann dutifully kept the Pikes Peak
Cam running
while I was away.
In 2006, DOHC was only a single
Cam so I added the
MT-Bross Cam with
weather - another 14er near Breckenridge. It lives on a 9.6
dial up and sets at over 11,000 ft so don't be disappointed if you
don't see a recent pic.
