| Page History: |
|
| January 2010 | Original version with 5 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
telemetry data from near Diamond Peak below the webcams, and code to error-check for missing SNOTEL data
|
| March 2010 | Fixed broken links to SNOTEL website |
| May 2010 | Fixed unwanted line breaks in SNOTEL telemetry dates on narrow screens |
| 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 2012 | Updated the URLs from which to download the SNOTEL data, which had recently been changed slightly |
| December 2012 |
Expanded to 8 camera views, adding 3 new ODOT road cams in Crescent on US 97, and rearranged all US 97 cams into a second row
Revised the page layout to use separate tables for each 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 Holland Meadows and Chemult Alternate SNOTEL sites, plus improved location descriptions for 3 of the SNOTEL sites
Increased image sizes from 360-270-180 to 400-300-200 pixels high for large-medium-small options
|
| February 2014 | Fixed one camera link which had changed |
| November 2014 | Minor fix to KEZI webcam URL |
| December 2015 |
Expanded to 15 camera views in 3 rows, adding 2 new ODOT cams at Salt Creek Tunnel on ORE 58, 3 older ODOT cams on I-5 near Eugene,
and 2 other scenic webcams near Eugene
Added the nearby Railroad Overpass, Toketee Airstrip, and Diamond Lake SNOTEL sites, which perhaps should have been done back in March 2013 when 2 others were added
|
| January 2016 |
Expanded to 16 camera views in 3 rows, adding the KMTR-TV Coburg Ridge Weather Cam near Eugene
Improved the location info for all 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
Added 5 nearby RAWS hourly telemetry sites
to the west, east, and south of Diamond Peak which have precip, wind, solar, and other sensors (but not snowdepth)
|
| February 2016 |
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
Moved the Toketee Airstrip SNOTEL and Toketee RAWS telemetry sites to the Crater Lake WebCams page,
and added the Grandad RAWS site which is closer to Diamond Peak instead
|
| March 2016 |
Added 1 more RAWS hourly telemetry site southwest of Oakridge |
| December 2016 | Expanded to 17 camera views, adding the 2nd new ODOT Willamette Pass webcam,
and fixed the URL for the first ODOT Willamette Pass webcam which had surprisingly changed back to its original URL from several years ago
|
| October 2017 | Fixed some website links which had changed |
