NORAD Tracks Santa

[ralphfan]

Every year, NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) puts on this really cool website that tracks Santa's location. They work with Google Maps and Google Earth and the graphics are pretty impressive.

I also enjoy looking up the cities Santa visits as it goes along.

I have to say that's pretty badass!

I looked at this for a while. I followed it last year

Santa is in Lagos, Nigeria right now.

 

[SpinyMaster347]

This was cool to look at last year!

 

[Lario]

I'm sure he moved to Antarctica some time ago. Nobody would check there!

 

[Pyro]

Wow. It makes sense he hasn't hit America yet, as he only just got done with Australia.

 

[NintendoQueen814]

He's in South America now! Making his way up to North America soon, then MY HOUSE!! I'm excited to get gifts from Santa

In Detroit, Michigan.

 

[ralphfan]

He's all over the eastern seaboard right now.

From what I've read, the way this is set up, Santa hits most locations between 10 pm and midnight in their respective time zones.

I missed when Santa was supposed to stop by my place. He was in Indianapolis, IN at around 10:20 pm. *Central Time*

yeah

that's why i'm starting to think google's is better

there's no way santa could deliver 2.7 billion presents in the timespan of 11 hours by going to each and every house

google has the reasonable number of 766 million

Mountain Time Zone

Then why does your profile display CST in the Local Time

 

[ToxBox]

I have no idea how to change the time

 

[Specific Neptune]

There's a setting for it in your profile.

 

[ToxBox]

Done

 

[RandomYoshi]

That's pretty neat.

Also, I managed to find where my house was.

 

[ralphfan]

NORAD and Google used to have a partnership. It appears they each have their own now.

It was better when the two were affiliated. Now they're both pretty unremarkable.

 

[ToxBox]

I noticed that they use bing

Santa's coming tonight, tonight, Santa's coming tonight!

He's currently preparing for launch. Follow along at noradsanta.org!
