Weather Bug has a Webcam facing north into the stadium. Here's the current image:
The field looks clear, seats too, although the aisles are still white. With temperatures expected to be around 37 degrees at gametime, slow melt, occasional rain and trampling should clear the rest. The X factor remains the wind, expected to be gusting to 45 mph this afternoon when the Patriots meet the Jets. Later: I've added screenshots of images captured earlier today, and one yesterday for comparison. The Webcam has a time-lapse feature and you can choose to animate the slideshow in large or tiny increments.
Yes, I am publishing these after the game has started. I'm recording it, and have paused the action at moment before kickoff to build up "pause time" so we can skip the timeouts, network filler and bad commercials. It's realtime to us. (If one of us is inadvertently catches a realtime score, nobody wants to know.) Details: I have an old Panasonic Showstopper replay tv, bought on eBay several years ago. That link goes to the lone Amazon seller. I see only parts on eBay now, no whole systems. When Sonic Blue bought the franchise, the warehoused inventory, brand new, was orphaned. Showstoppers come with a lifetime subscription to the nightly modem call to update the channel listings and don't track your actions, which is why they're still selling despite their age.
