Public Square, Watertown NY — Jake Johnson Properties

Watertown, in Jefferson County in the North Country of New York, is built around its historic Public Square, and this live camera keeps watch over it. The view takes in the square's buildings, streets and the daily flow of people and traffic in the heart of the city.

Public Square is a natural gathering place, and the camera reflects the rhythm of a small northern city. Weekday mornings bring commuters and deliveries, middays see shoppers and office workers, and evenings settle into a quieter mood. The North Country is known for its serious winters, so snow days are a highlight: plows clearing the streets, flakes swirling under the streetlights, and the square wrapped in white. Summer brings green trees and longer, softer evenings.

Useful for

• Checking downtown weather and road conditions.
• Seeing local events and activity on the square.
• Enjoying a slice of upstate New York life.

The camera is sponsored by Jake Johnson Properties, which offers residential units and commercial office space throughout Jefferson County.
