Eventually they will. It's a matter of going through the feed and pulling out each individual clue to get the capture. It's not a quick process.
None of the links have worked for something like the last 6 years. I'm not sure that eventual is ever going to come to pass.
That is also possible. At this point, it would be a massively time-intensive project.

I'm with you on that one. It made sense from the clue, but I'd NHOI.

I think it's a law in Los Angeles that if it's overcast on a June morning, the morning news shows' meteorologists have to use the phrase "June gloom."

Up here there is also June Swoon if the Giants are having a bad month and back to weather there is No Sky July and Fogust.

I did but I'm from there. You may be right that it's not known elsewhere. I'm curious if it's even known in Northern California or more than 100 miles from the coast.
Pennsylvania native here (although I did live in southern CA for ~9 months in 2009) and I got it
Did those 9 months include June and were they as a teen or adult?
It was as an adult (work sent me out to be an interim manager) but the weather was so steady outside Los Angeles, I honestly don't remember what months I was there for :shock:

If it was during June, I don't recall there being any gloominess in Ontario/North Hollywood!

Yeah, I figured it was a "maybe eventually these links will work" but OP made it sound like he was setting up the links and I didn't know if he was aware they're broken.

Maybe they work for him (linking directly to his hard drive) but not for the rest of the internet? He's done an amazing thing setting up the archive and updating it so quickly day after day so I won't complain about missing out on videos/pictures.
