From Florida sampling Schenectady's weather
Living in Fort Launderdale, Fla., Steve Klinger '81 missed the change of seasons. So, he turned to Union's “web cam” to see the weather on campus. “As time went by, I ended up capturing snowstorms, thunderstorms, sunsets and everything else in between,” he said, adding that his collection had grown to 142 pictures. “Most of the shots…were saved at random times on individual days. However, when my boredom happened to coincide with Union experiencing a storm, I would save a sequence of shots depicting the event and place them in a separate folder.” The project was also a good diversion when he was entertaining his energetic six-year-old niece, he admits. “Hopefully, 10 years from now they will reappear from the depths of her memory and persuade her to attend Union,” he said.
The web cam features images from atop the F.W. Olin Center looking west toward Reamer Campus Center and the Nott Memorial. The picture refreshes every 20 seconds. http://www.union.edu/Campus/Sights_And_Sounds/WebCam.php
