Select a camera & then you can "loop" it for a few hours of winter weather viewing.
Parks Hwy, Near Mt McKinley

This page get you to a page, where you can see weather & roads all over the state.
With-in a few miles of me is MP 35.2 Parks/Gleen highway interchange.
Select "Greatr Anch" then click the top diamond between Palmer & Wasilla.
edit, was playing with the site, you can click "camera" there is 3 cameras at this location, & get several views of the area. Swamp , Mts, no leaves on the trees, (mostly cotton wood trees).
Top Left & Bot R camera views (Glenn So bound view) you can see some Mts. Was bad fog this AM.

Cool & useful road cameras around Alaska. I keep looking for a moose to walk by. :)
 
Dave, I hate to tell you, but someone made off with the Antler Creek bridge.

Also, on the 3:00am close up of Parks Hwy, I think I saw Sasquatch hitch hiking. What is he thinking. Nobody is out at 3:00am.
 
People are always picking up shed antlers, I guess a bridge made of antlers made for some good souvenirs.

Sasquatch . I'd give him a ride.
I've seen one twice. (or a good "look a like")
Once in Oregon when deer hunting.
Once when sheep hunting on Black Rapids glacier (Alaska).
Maybe one of the new web cams somewhere will finally get a good picture, so more folks "know" they are out there. :)

Some are pretty cool camera locations.
