Made the following enhancements to the Website and a Weather Station Update:
- Added an improved CELL / PDA interface. This interface is more pleasing to look at, faster loading
and allows for faster and more accurate updating. It is linked off the CELL / PDA menu choice.

Made the following enhancements to the Website and a Weather Station Update:
- Added a WebCam so we now have a live feed of the actual conditions outside at the actual location of the weather station. Images
are updated and uploaded to the site every 10 minutes. You can view the web cam on the front page, below all weather data and just
above the large radar.
- Anemometer is still packed with snow and ice thus is currently frozen. Wind readings and direction are affected and all currently
showing "calm" when in reality there is air moving. We are about to receive another dose of Old Man Winter, thus
delaying the thawing process. We apologize but... one does not dictate weather!
- Added a new feature: Added a Weather Watch, Warning Advisory Archive Library. We will archive all
issuances from the National Weather Service for future reference. You May access this feature by clicking on Forecast and
Advisories Tab then Archives.

| 07 Feb. 2010: |
Made the following enhancements to the Website plus Weather Station Update:
- Due to the most recent heavy winter storm just experienced from 05 Feb 2010 through 06 Feb. 2010 (received 16" total snowfall
plus additional .5" ice coating) our Anemometer has been packed with snow and ice thus is currently frozen. Wind readings and
direction are affected and all currently showing "calm" when in reality there is air moving. Once the snow and ice
clears itself wind readings should resume as normal.
- Upgraded the NWS County Zones Warning feed to newer script version (v4.13) for added codes and readability on both the front page
as well as the individual county pages.
|
| 02 Feb. 2010: |
Made the following enhancements to the Website:
- Completely revamped and redesigned the Daily Detail Reports, including the Temperature and Rain Detail pages.
- Added a Daily Wind Detail Report to site located under the Almanac/Daily reports.
- Corrected some additional minor code errors on the latest Dashboard coding.
- Added front page advisory codes for all K3JAE's Weather Station reportable County Zones, so any county we watch will be notified
if there is an active Advisories, Watches or Warnings in their area. This prevent those from having to go deeper into the site to
see if any active alerts are present. Now you also have the ability to click on your specific warning area for the actual NWS
text.

Made the following enhancements to the Website:
- Wired side of Station went bad. No signal coming in from the hard line. May need to replace wire when weather warms. Currently
will be running via wireless. Wireless data will be a bit slower to update.
- Upgraded the NOAA Advisories/Alerts/Warnings "Advisory Page" script for upcoming NOAA alert feeds to version 4.11. This is a more
streamlined version allowing faster updates than prior code. Functionality is the same as previous previous allowing for easier
to read advisories as well as more complete & timely information.
- Corrected some minor code errors on the latest Dashboard coding.

Made the following enhancements to the Website:
- Added relevant help boxes to headings on the Dashboard (index.php). You can access each help box by clicking on the
 icon.
- Cleaned up and incorporated another major code upgrade to the Dashboard. Cleaned up some areas that were not converting over to
the metric system. A few still remain that will need additional coding and will be implemented as soon as coding has been
tested.

"Almanac/Station Rain/Temp Trends" menu tab.
