New Weather Station up! We are very happy to announce that the new weather station is up along with the new camera! You will notice some changes and a new location for the camera. We hope you enjoy the view of the river and looking up towards Spruce Hole.  We had a beautiful white Christmas here in Sheep Creek and it remains very cold but absolutely beautiful! Thank you again for your patience.  I hope you all have a wonderful and Happy New Year!

Website Update – We are in the process of once again dealing with some issues with the website and weather station. Unfortunately, the weather station is down and due to the holidays, will be for approximately another week.  We have a company who is helping us to hopefully resolve these issues once and for all, and then we can get the new weather station and camera connected.  We appreciate your patience as I know this is the time of year you love to watch the weather closely and snow accumulation.  Unfortunately, forecasts are not showing much potential of snow this next week. Thank you again for your patience and understanding.
