2:45pm looking across Rich Mountain and Cades Cove
For over a decade we’ve collected views from reliable weather web cams to build daily time-lapse animations for the Great Smoky Mountains. We’ve called the project Yesterday in the Great Smokies and offer a daily archive for the past three calendar years.
The August total solar eclipse in the southern Great Smokies offered a great opportunity to showcase some unique images from the archive.Â
We use a process of downloading webcam images and creating animated GIFs with a collection of Bash shell scripts. We’ve been collecting weather data for some time. Here’s an example of our June, 2007 weather station on the Wayback Machine:https://web.archive.org/
