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 7 about 1.4 kilometres east of the community of Lake Charlotte, which is on the highway at the south end of Lake Charlotte. The camera looks west down the highway, here known as Marine Drive, toward Lake Charlotte.
