Page History:
December 2009Original version with 4 camera views, designed based on the Mount Rainier Paradise WebCams webpage,
with cameras from the Southwestern British Columbia Mountain WebCams and Washington Mountain WebCams webpages
Includes the option to show the last 24 hours of NWAC and SNOTEL telemetry data from Mount Baker below the webcams
Later added code to error-check for missing SNOTEL data
January 2010Added the distance of each camera from Mount Baker in the photo captions
March 2010Fixed broken links to SNOTEL website
May 2010Fixed unwanted line breaks in SNOTEL telemetry dates on narrow screens
June 2010Fixed one camera link which had changed
September 2010 Expanded to 5 camera views, adding the low-resolution version of Ferndale image, since the high-res version is very unreliable
November 2010 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
February 2012Updated the URLs from which to download the SNOTEL data, which had recently been changed slightly
September 2012Added the newly-installed air quality webcam from Ferndale, which had been offline since March 2011 due to construction
October 2012Expanded to 7 camera views, adding the Mount Constitution and Bluenose webcams, and rearranged images into 2 rows
November 2012Updated the caption and elevation info for the Ferndale air quality webcam, which had been moved to a very different location
December 2012 Expanded to 8 camera views, adding the Anacortes Middle School webcam, and updated one WSDOT camera URL which had changed
Added more code to properly handle the new HTTP Status 404 errors from the SNOTEL server, and other unknown SNOTEL errors
January 2013 Expanded to 9 camera views, adding the new Skunk Bay Weather webcam 2 from Hansville
Revised the page layout to use separate tables for each row, to better accommodate the very different widths of images
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
