1. Screen capture from the August 22, 2021, web camera postings. 2. I’ve circled the water disturbance for you to know where to look.

There have been 13 sightings of Nessie, the famous mythical water creature thought to reside in Loch Ness. New to the official database that collects information on sightings: Webcam footage from the live webcam is divided into a separate category, arranged by year. This allows visitors to the website to view portions of the video footage that is monitored by volunteers. Photographs remain divided by year. So far this year, there have been 8 web camera postings and 5 photographs. However, there still isn’t credible evidence that Nessie actually exists. But that shouldn’t stop you from visiting and searching for yourself!

Snowstorm Goals 2019: Snow Nessie

Although it will barely break freezing tomorrow, the Atlanta area isn’t projected to get any measurable amount of snow in the coming weeks. That’s too bad since I’ve decided on my 2019 snowstorm goal: Snow Nessie.

A family in Warrensburg, Missouri, created a giant Loch Ness Monster (a.k.a. Nessie) with their recent snowfall. The “Snow Nessie” took 4 days to create and measures 6’ at her highest point. Creator Jessica Nicholson stated that inspiration came from the 2007 film The Water Horse. Snow Nessie is incredibly popular, as people stop to have their picture taken with her.

I’m fascinated in mysterious creatures that financially support towns. (See my articles on Mothman.) Further, Nessie holds a special place in my heart. Even after the 1934 “Surgeon’s Photograph” was deemed a hoax in 1994, hordes of people descend annually on Loch Ness in hopes of capturing an authentic photograph. Now that’s dedication.

Hopefully, one day I, too, will travel to Scotland in search of Nessie. In the meantime, I’ll have to build my own snow version—a very, very small version.
