Notes:
  • Other sources of information

  • 2015 08/15 - Weather Underground "local" map of current conditions
  • 2019 11/10 - Uploading raw weather data for today, one day ago, and two days ago. Tab-separated data columns, so you can "Open With" a spreadsheet program.
    - Files are uploaded shortly after the hours of 8, 12, 16, 20.
  • 2019 12/21 - Moon phase (%) is good, but the code for computing moon rise & set times never seemed to work, so try web pages like this one.
  • 2020 03/14 - Snow depth raw data, to investigate correlation to times & events.
  • 2020 03/14 - Not just weather, but an interesting map that has weather information embedded in it.
  • 2022 03/11 - Link to a new 12 hour summary file, to allow COAC ( Central Oregon Avalanche Center) to add Hoodoo Butte weather information to their map. The file is a ".CSV" type, which at least one browser keeps trying to open as a ".XLS" type. Other browsers have opened the CSV files just fine.
  • 2023 11/01 - Finished migration to the new web site, e.g. https://santiampsp.org/wx/weather.htm
  • 2024 01/5 - A note about spikes on the air quality graph: The sensor is in a structure which also houses snowmobiles. When those machines come and go their exhaust lingers in the structure for several minutes.
  • 2024 05/17 - Added a wind-related link "History" to a separate web page that shows wind direction and speed for a series of time bins. (Located in the "Wind" row, under the 6 & 48 hour "summary" column. It contains information similar to a "Wind Rose", but it's built from HTML. The duration and number of time bins are defined in a configuration file, so they are easily changed.
  • 2024 09/13 - Snow depth sensor restored - A warming/drying heater had failed, bogging-down the sensor's 12 Volt power supply to 1.4 Volts. The offending part was removed, 12 Volts returned, and the sensor resumed operation. Sending the heater to autopsy ...
  • 2024 09/13 - Static burst sensor is way too sensitive in some directions and not sensitive enough to activity to the southeast. And you might guess what direction a lot of our lightning storms come from ...
