Hey all.

There will be intermittent updates today as I’m moving servers around a little. Webcam and graphs shouldn’t be affected, only current information will be a little delayed.

Watch for snow!

UPDATE (Monday Night):

The Weather Server has been moved to it’s (hopefully) permanent location on it’s (hopefully) permanent box. (A nice, low power, Linksys NSLU2.. cool huh!). When it restarts, the weather server checks it’s archives, “back-to-front”, this is why the Graphs have not updated. It will take a few hours more before the server catches up.

Weather wise! Currently it’s calm out, with light flurries. The forecast is a doozy, snow, freezing rain, wind, rain, more rain, and more snow!

We’ll see how everything pans out, there will likely be an updated forecast at 10PM if there is indeed stormy conditions imminent on the South Coast.

UPDATE (Tuesday 6:10AM):

It’s raining more heavily now, some freezing rain here… likely snow out at the Lake. We have about 4cm on the ground, and the roads are very slushy.

I have readded the Highway 4 Cam to the bottom of the page. It was popular and it’s handy there.

Starting to get a little bit of wind out of the East. Which is odd.. that’s a direction we don’t often get… the strong wind is forecast to come from the West.

Definitely going to be an interesting day! Stay tuned…

Go Pats!

Check out the Forecast for tonight! “Risk of Hail!?” Cool! It better not mess up my solar heater yammit!! :D

Another cold, and potentially snowy forecast.

This years winter has been quite exceptional. Around the world, incredible coldness. From Afghanistan to China to North America and Europe. Is it La Nina? Or is it… something else? We won’t know until it’s all over.

In a few minutes I will be rearranging the rats nest that is my basement where all the goodies that make this website tick reside.

It’s going to take me an hour or so to get everything ripped apart and put back together, so please forgive the downtime.

Weather Data, graphs, and Webcam will all be “frozen” in time. The Satellite, Radar and other outside links will continue to work.

I will update again when the system is back online.

Cheers!

Chris

UPDATE:

Hooray, I can walk in my basement again… and… I’ve installed a Serial to Ethernet Adapter… it’s a sweet little box that allows me to plug the weather station in directly to the network without the need for a dedicated computer. Geeks like me like that sort of thing. :D
