Frequent visitors will notice that during the course of the day, the Buffalo Cam is not always pointing in the same direction. Since the Cam points at different buildings in the Square, visitors may also catch a view of Lake Erie behind City Hall. In the afternoon, the Buffalo Cam may overlook the U.S. Federal Court House building. Well, in addition to being able to see different views of the beautiful Art Deco design of City Hall and historic Niagara Square, the cam's eye view allows local area travelers and our Canadian neighbors headed for Buffalo an opportunity to check actual weather conditions in the city.
Buffalo is thought of as being one of the snow capitals of the North.
Blowing and drifting snows are the main reason city driving in Buffalo during the winter can become difficult. What the future holds for Buffalo is anyone's guess. How the BuffaloCam documents weather in Buffalo should prove to be very interesting indeed.
