| Page History: |
|
| January 2010 | Original version with 8 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 Mount McLoughlin 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 |
| December 2010 | Added a fourth local SNOTEL site, at Cold Springs Camp |
| 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 |
| November 2011 | Expanded to 10 camera views, adding a new ODOT webcam and two older ODOT webcams, replacing one |
| January 2012 | Expanded to 11 camera views, adding a new ODOT webcam |
| February 2012 | Updated the URLs from which to download the SNOTEL data, which had recently been changed slightly |
| December 2012 | 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 14 camera views, adding 5 ODOT cams near Ashland and Siskiyou Summit, removing 2 ODOT cams in Medford |
| 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 Howard Prairie SNOTEL site, and improved location descriptions for 2 of the SNOTEL sites
|
| June 2013 | Expanded to 20 camera views, adding 4 new ODOT cams near Siskiyou Summit, and reinstating 2 ODOT cams in Medford |
| September 2013 |
Expanded to 22 camera views, adding 2 Green Springs Inn cams, and fixed several ODOT camera links which had changed
Revised the page layout to use separate tables for each row, to better accommodate the very different widths of images, and rearranged several images
|
| December 2013 |
Expanded to 25 camera views, adding 2 new ODOT cams at Dead Indian Memorial Rd Summit and another Green Springs Inn cam
Substantially rearranged the images into 4 rows and a much more logical geographic order
|
| October 2014 | Fixed 2 ODOT cam URLs which had changed |
| December 2014 |
Expanded to 27 camera views, adding 2 Caltrans cams just south of Siskiyou Summit
Updated the page title to include "Siskiyou Summit", which perhaps should have been done in January 2013
Added the nearby Big Red Mountain and Swan Lake Mtn SNOTEL sites
|
| September 2015 | Expanded to 30 camera views, adding Hyatt Lake and 2 new ODOT cams at Phoenix, and rearranged some images |
| December 2015 | Expanded to 31 camera views, adding a cam near Chiloquin |
| January 2016 |
Reduced to 29 camera views,
moving 2 ODOT cams on US 97 to the Crater Lake WebCams page
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 7 regional RAWS hourly telemetry sites
to the north, east, and south of Mount McLoughlin and also near Siskiyou Summit 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
Added 2 AgriMet telemetry sites near Medford and Agency Lake, which have data available via
MesoWest and include 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 |
