The FoxCreek community experienced a power outage today, 7-Feb-2016, from 3:42pm to 4:38pm, due to emergency repairs on lines by NS Power – probably in anticipation of the coming storm tomorrow.

FOXlive was updated but unable to broadcast its data.
Today, Saturday, 26-Dec-2015, the FOXweather & FOXlive websites were partially offline and/or not reachable.
Between 07:50am and 3:20pm today the sites could not be reached from any Bell/Alliant ISP network. Other ISPs seem to work.
This also caused weather data uploads to fail.
As an interim solution we found a way to reroute the uploads via a VPN host in Europe. The websites were updated again as of 1:50pm.
Uploads to Weather Underground& Awekas were disrupted between 12:25pm and 3:23pm.
Normal data routing was restored at 3:23pm – when access from Bell/Aliant ISP was possible again.
Unfortunately the cause of the outage remains unknown.
No weather related data was lost.
We apologize for the offline and thank our viewers for their patience.

Last night a heavy thunderstorm passed over Queens county and quite a few flashes occurred close to FOXweather.
This sadly caused some weather equipment to spark resulting in a station outage from 4-Aug-2015/22:52 ADT to 23:54 ADT.
All systems could be recovered and no data was lost.
However the FOXcam Southwest got damaged and needs replacement. This will take a few days. Stay tuned.
