We love to track storms using weather maps. However, to really get to see what is going on, it’s best to use a webcam. Use this page to watch the ice storm webcams as the ice storm moves northeast from January 23rd to 26th. If a video window doesn’t load on your site (some providers block embeds), the “Open live camera” link under each section still works.
Tip: Keep one tab open per city and refresh every few minutes. Traffic cams show road glazing fast. Airport cams show visibility and active precip.
