Times Square...in New York City... that place where they "drop the big ball" on TV on New Year's Eve...have you ever been there? What's it's like there right now? Wanna find out? |
STEP 1
Let's check today's weather
forecast for New York City...

button to come back to this page once you know the
forecast.)
Maybe it's
gonna be sunny, maybe rainy... maybe it's supposed to
snow!
STEP 2
Now that you know the
weather... do you know if it's day or night there? Better
check that first by looking at which part of planet Earth is
in the daylight right now...

(And then come back here
again, using that "Back" button!)
STEP 3
OK, now you know what
the weather's supposed to be, and you also know if it's day
or night. But is the weather forecast really accurate? Was
that planet Earth map really true? Let's find out by going
on the Internet to a live "Web Cam" at Times Square in New
York...

Note: When there, you may need
to click on "Enlarge Cam Image".

when you're done looking)
STEP 4
Welcome back! Were conditions
there just as you expected? (If not..what do you think could
be the reason?) Did you try out the different "Web Cams"
available there at Times Square?
(If not, you can go back there
and explore more.)
