But Half Dome is still missing in action.

Could be some of both, I'm in Truckee now and it's pretty warm outside (46, @ 7:50). White Wolf is showing 44, with a "low" of 42. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/getobext.php?wfo=hnx&sid=WWRC1&num=48

It's there now.

Don't forget sublimation.
(The vapor pressure of 'solid water' is surprisingly high, even for temperatures well below freezing. See, e.g., the graph in the following link: http://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/ice/ice.htm)

I just looked and saw nothing.

Nothing either, but it is dark now.

It says website not found for me.

Try again. It works for me, but I see 70% snow.

and no Half Dome :-(

I think I can see part of Half Dome.

OK. It is working now for me. I see a glimpse of Half Dome too.

Yeah, Half Dome. We should all sit here and watch the snow melt.

I have been checking the cam periodically to see the snow melt and the cam is so unreliable. It is black now. How is the signal being broadcasted to the internet anyway?

Haha, I never learned about this webcams until now. Makes me want to go back ASAP.
