Live Webcams in Watertown

Watertown is a small city in Jefferson County, in the North Country of New York, some 70 miles north of Syracuse and half an hour from the Thousand Islands, and the live webcams in Watertown look at a place shaped by water and weather: the Black River falling through the city in rapids that once drove its mills, and winters of lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario, among the heaviest in the eastern United States. Some 25,000 people live in Watertown. It keeps Eastern Time, UTC−5, UTC−4 in summer. Its downtown is laid out around Public Square, where Frank Woolworth set up his first five-cent counter in 1878, and Fort Drum, home of the 10th Mountain Division, lies just to the north-east.
