Usefulness for assessing weather

Fair. Gives a good idea of cloud and snow cover over the Skiddaw range and wind or rain on the lake.

Usefulness in different lighting conditions and times of day

Good. Rarely affected by changing light.Sometimes visibilty is affected by mist from the lake.

Historical reliability

Very good

Other Comments

Sometimes seems be knocked out of focus and sometimes remains like this for several days. Can produce very beautiful, moody and artistic views.

The web page is set up in a slightly strange way which means that zooming IN to the picture makes more of the lake visible in the foreground, which is the opposite of what you would think. If I zoom in to 150% an icon appears in the bottom right corner which lets me switch to full screen view but below 150% this is not visible.
