| November 2010 |
Updated the URLs and links for all Mount Bachelor Ski Resort images, and revised the script to grab the Mount Bachelor snow conditions data
Fixed a minor bug in the SNOTEL data display, which only occurred between 11pm and midnight and showed the previous day's date for the 0000 hour's data row
|
| March 2011 |
Fixed a minor quirk in the SNOTEL data display, which only occurred when SNOTEL data is not available at a given site for the previous 24 hours |
| January 2012 | Replaced the long-defunct view from Bend with a view from Sunriver |
| February 2012 | Updated the URLs from which to download the SNOTEL data, which had recently been changed slightly |
| December 2012 |
Expanded to 12 camera views, adding the 4 closest ODOT road cams along US 97
Revised the page layout to use a separate table for the last row, to better accommodate the very different widths of images
Added more code to properly handle the new HTTP Status 404 errors from the SNOTEL server, and other unknown SNOTEL errors
|
| March 2013 |
Forced to write a new external script to grab SNOTEL data,
after the long-existing SNOTEL data programs on the NWCC website were suddenly redirected to a beta-version report generator
The new script is a major improvement, it displays wind and solar data for any SNOTEL sites which have those sensors, mostly installed within the last few years
Added the nearby Roaring River SNOTEL site, and revised the script to grab the Mount Bachelor snow conditions data since the webpage had changed
