I can remember looking at an old camera cam that was in downtown Lawrence, Kansas to see if it was raining!  I looked at this old one for the first time this morning!

BREAKING NEWS:
Following the extensive news coverage about the planned ending of FogCam, San Francisco State University has asked to preserve and run it indefinitely.

Official Statement: San Francisco State University can confirm it has agreed to continue maintaining the FogCam, which prevents shutdown of the service. San Francisco State University has supported operation of the FogCam since its inception in 1994, a major technology milestone at the time. The University looks forward to continuing the webcam’s legacy.

Even the interweb, as young as it is, wants to save its history!

"Karl" is the name given to the San Fransisco fog. :coolio: One might have expected something more Spanish? They went rather far up the coast several years ago (The Strait of Juan de Fuca leading to Puget Sound/Seattle). Not sure the Russians ever got that far south. :dntknw:
