Nova Scotia highway webcams are operated by the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal (TIR). Most are mounted on tall steel towers, most of which have weather sensors included on the tower. The sensors measure temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and wind direction and speed.
The webcam pic below is more or less real time and will update every 30 to 40 minutes, depending on conditions.
This highway camera is mounted on the south side of Highway 104, just west of the overpass over Highway 4. These are the two main routes in this neck of the woods. The camera looks generally east over the overpass to Tracadie Harbour. Camera and tower are about a kilometre west of the village of Monastery, so named because it is the home of Our Lady of Grace Monastery.
