Page History: |
|
November 2009 | Original version with 7 camera views,
designed based on the Mount Rainier Paradise WebCams webpage,
with cameras from the Oregon Mountain WebCams webpage
Includes the option to show the last 24 hours of SNOTEL
and Mount Bachelor Ski Area telemetry data below the webcams
|
December 2009 | Expanded to 8 camera views, adding a view from Bend,
plus a second SNOTEL site
Added code to error-check for missing SNOTEL data |
January 2010 | Added a third SNOTEL site
(see also map of SNOTEL sites in Deschutes River basin)
Added camera image modification time from webserver for the KBNZ Webcam
|
March 2010 | Fixed broken links to SNOTEL website |
April 2010 | Updated the URLs for all Mount Bachelor Ski Resort images |
May 2010 | Fixed unwanted line breaks in SNOTEL telemetry dates on narrow screens |
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
|
June 2013 |
Expanded to 15 camera views, adding 3 views of the Three Sisters from the east and northeast near Sisters, Bend and Redmond
Reduced image sizes slightly from 480-360-240 to 440-330-220 pixels high, and updated the page title to include "Three Sisters"
|
October 2013 | Expanded to 16 camera views, adding a view of Middle and North Sister from between Sisters and Bend |
November 2013 |
Expanded to 22 camera views, adding 6 new cams from Mount Bachelor Ski Resort,
and rearranged images by moving 5 probably-defunct Mount Bachelor cams to a single row (pending eventual removal)
Fixed the distorted aspect ratio for all new Mount Bachelor Ski Resort cams, which clearly should be 16:9 HD images and not 4:3 ratio as displayed on their website
|
December 2013 | Added the Mount Bachelor current weather conditions graphic |
January 2014 |
Expanded to 24 camera views, adding the Eye on Bend and ODOT La Pine cams, and reduced image sizes slightly from 440-330-220 to 400-300-200 pixels high |
February 2014 |
Expanded to 27 camera views, adding the ODOT Horse Ridge cam along US 20 to the east
and 2 new Mount Bachelor Ski Resort cams, plus updated the URLs for 2 older Mount Bachelor cams which had changed

November 2014 |
Expanded to 29 camera views, adding 4 new Mount Bachelor cam views from the top of Outback Express and removing 2 long-defunct Mount Bachelor cams
(several other currently-offline cams still remain, in case they come back online in the future)
Reduced image sizes slightly from 400-300-200 to 360-270-180 pixels high
|
December 2014 |
Expanded to 33 camera views, adding the new Mount Bachelor snow stake cam, ODOT Hampton cam, and 2 cams at Pine Mountain Observatory
Fixed the URL for Mount Bachelor Snow Conditions which had changed, and fixed the formatting of the
Mount Bachelor Ski Area telemetry data which had changed slightly
|
January 2015 |
Fixed the URL and formatting of the Mount Bachelor Ski Area telemetry data
which had changed completely, and added error checking for missing data file
|
February 2015 |
Expanded to 36 camera views, adding 3 more new Mount Bachelor cam views from the top of Outback Express
and later 4 views from the new top of Sunrise Express cam while also removing 4 long-defunct Mount Bachelor cams, and rearranged several images
|
March 2015 | Expanded to 38 camera views, adding 2 more new Mount Bachelor cam views from the top of Sunrise Express, and rearranged several images |
July 2015 | Expanded to 39 camera views, adding 1 more new Mount Bachelor cam view from the top of Outback Express |
November 2015 |
The Mount Bachelor Ski Area website was completely redesigned for the first time in many years and went live on November 24, totally breaking all Mount Bachelor image URLs and telemetry data
Updated all Mount Bachelor image URLs to the new webcams directory, and also correctly guessed the new name of several image URLs which had been needlessly renamed during their move
Thankfully the Mount Bachelor cams are now 1280x720 HD images in the correct 16:9 aspect ratio,
they are no longer severely distorted 640x480 images in an incorrect 4:3 ratio as they had been since November 2013, which required a fix for proper display here
Nevertheless, unfortunately only about 2/3 of the Mount Bachelor images are currently working using the new URLs, so several non-working images (currently 8) have been left in place,
hoping that they will come back online someday or that I can discover the new URLs if they have been renamed
Expanded to 45 camera views, adding the 2 new Mount Bachelor camera views from Sunrise Base and 1 new from the top of Sunrise Express,
plus 3 more views from EyeOnBend including one which often looks at the Cascades
|
December 2015 |
Fixed the URL and formatting of the Mount Bachelor Ski Area telemetry data,
which had changed after being totally offline for about a week following the November 24 website redesign, and also the
Mount Bachelor Snow Conditions, which had changed completely following the redesign
Expanded to 50 camera views, adding the Mount Bachelor West Village cam and 4 more webcams looking at the Three Sisters
from near Sisters, Tumalo, Redmond, and Terrebonne, plus fixed one other camera link which had changed
Reduced image sizes slightly from 360-270-180 to 320-240-160 pixels high for large-medium-small options
|
January 2016 |
Expanded to 55 camera views rearranged into 6 rows, adding views of the Cascades and Newberry Volcano from opposite sides of Awbrey Butte,
Bend Municipal Airport, and the Sunriver office and snow stake cams
Moved all 8 currently offline (possibly defunct) Mount Bachelor cam images to the far right ends of their rows, pending eventual removal if they don't come back online
Improved the formatting of the Mount Bachelor Ski Area telemetry data,
enlarged the telemetry graphic image substantially to improve readability, and also improved the location info for some of the SNOTEL sites
Wrote a new external script to grab data from MesoWest (such as the data from
the RAWS telemetry sites), which downloads the data as a CSV file and formats it to match the style of the SNOTEL data
Since there are only a few snow telemetry sites anywhere near Mount Bachelor and the Three Sisters, added 6 nearby
RAWS hourly telemetry sites to the northwest, east, and south
of Mount Bachelor and the Three Sisters which have precip, wind, solar, and other sensors (but not snowdepth)
|
February 2016 |
Expanded to 59 camera views in 7 rows, adding the new ODOT cam on US97 at Rocking Horse, 2 cams looking at the new OSU Cascades Campus in Bend,
and a new EyeOnBend cam view of Bend Whitewater Park, while switching all 4 previous EyeOnBend images to the new smaller timestamped versions with links to the full-size images
Major internal PHP code cleanup, updating and/or deleting legacy code left over from very long ago, from the
Mount Rainier Paradise WebCams webpage (March 2009) on which all of these "Webcams + Telemetry Pages" are based,
and even from the original Washington Mountain WebCams webpage (December 2004) on which the Rainier page was based
Added descriptive dividers between major subregions of the webcam images and of the telemetry sites, to clarify the layout of this fairly large and complex page
Added the Bend AgriMet telemetry site, which has data available via
MesoWest and includes precip, wind, solar, and other sensors (but not snowdepth)
|
March 2016 | Fixed all Weather Underground camera URLs, which now apparently need "?time()" appended in order to update properly |
April 2016 | Fixed the KGW-TV Sunriver webcam URL which had changed |
December 2016 |
Expanded to 63 camera views, adding a new Mount Bachelor cam view from the base of Sunrise Express and 3 new ODOT cams in Bend,
and fixed some camera URLs which had changed
|
October 2017 |
Reduced to 56 camera views, removing numerous long-defunct cameras (8 Mt Bachelor, 2 OSU Cascades construction cams, Sunriver office cam)
and adding 4 new camera views (2 ODOT cams near Mt Bachelor, new view from top of Outback Express, OSU Cascades Bend Science Station)
|
November 2017 |
Fixed another Mt Bachelor cam URL which had changed, rearranged several Mt Bachelor West Village images, and moved 4 more likely-defunct Mt Bachelor images
(which haven't been updated in several months to over a year) to the far-right ends of rows, pending future removal
