Peep the Crowley Cam for real-time conditions

If you are like me you monitor the weather around Mammoth Lakes every day in anticipation of your trip. If you have done so over the last two months, you have seen the same cloud/rain drops/lightning bolt symbol every single day, but reports from friends calling me from the area have reported anything from t-shirt weather to 50 degrees and hail, and given the moody nature of Sierra weather, regular regular reports should only be used as a guideline.

I recently discovered the Crowley Cam which is a web cam aimed at the marina at Lake Crowley. It also allows you to check out conditions of crowds at the ramp itself, but I like it for weather.

Granted, it could be partly cloudy at Crowley while up in Mammoth it is blowing 40 mph with hail and down at bishop it could be 80 degrees and clear as a bell, but at least it offers a visual.
