Alberta has found many ways to spend its oil money, one of which is these highway webcams, almost all of which are also weather stations. Each tower, aside from the webcam(s), is equipped with an anemometer, weather vane, thermometer, barometer and a road temperature sensor. The weather data is telemetered to Alberta Transportation and appears on each webcam's web page.
