Does anyone now how to use the snow input (under input daily weather)? If yes, can you please tell me how? What is the conversion rate from snow inches to cm? Also if I enter information there does it show anywhere else like the rainfall information? Is there anyway to have this snow information uploaded to my web page? Thank you all for your help.
1 centimeter = 0.3937008 inch / 1 inch = 2.54 centimeter
The way I’ve been doing it is to keep adding up the cm’s till it reaches the accumulation in inches I need.
You can create a wxlocal.html file with this code in it if you want:
[code:1]
Today, %date%, total has been %snowtodayin.% inches
Monthly accumulation has been %snowmonthin.% inches
%date-year% Seasonal total accumulation has been %snowseasonin.% inches
[/code:1]This is part of my wxlocal8.html which WD will produce wx8.html that you can send to your web site. You can also use the ‘datahtm3.txt’ to add in this code therefore not requiring a seperate html.
i guess i should add ability to be able to enter in inches of snow
i will do that
there is a snow graph:
go to view, temperature/wind trend graph
and then there is a 3D graph under that…its on that
that 3d graph does get uploaded to your web site daily with the averages/extreme
Lets see!
If 1mm of rain = (approx) 1cm of snow, then I" of rain = (approx,) 10"s of snow! Right?
That’s what I’ve always been taught!
Best,
Ed
you mean I have been doing it wrong all these years? I just dump snow on the cpu until it gives up? :twisted:
aardvark that sounds like a new way to prevent over heating when you are overclocking. You can buy the water cooling systems. You have just gone the next LOGICAL step.

Yep, great warm 50F weather today, then it goes down during the work week. Just ducky.
Actually, I bought a snow board http://www.forestry-suppliers.com/product_pages/view_catalog_page.asp?id=3391 .
if their url doesn’t work it can be found.
I am estimating the amount of moisture using 10 inches of snow equals 1 inch of water, then manually inputing that. Ideally a heater might be great, but with the wireless, it doesn’t work for some reason or another with the davis. And any homebrew tends to give false reading on temp.
As I recall under input own weather, there is a snow gauge he has in the program. as you input the number of inches each snowfall, it keeps a record of the depth until you zero it out.
I have heard and read somewhere of a better way of determining depth. It looks like a sonar device that is fixed somewhere high enough and a target it tries to hit below. The unit then sends out a signal, measures the depth and records it via your computer, I think. Expensive, but some must have it. I look at snow this way, If I have to wade to the shed for the snowblower, its deep and if school is cancelled, its really deep.
One other thing I have been looking at. Taking a rain guage, one of those non-electric types, and bringing it in each snow fall, wait for the thing to melt and manually input the water volume.
Then there is the super lazy method. See what the local weather NOAA is reporting or the local paper and record it there and say heck with being right. unless you are those sources :roll:
and you thought Weasels got me 
al;so, the snow depth you have recorded is shown under view, averages/extreme
I also use the unfavored pet method. Put the unfavored pet outside and determine the depth that way. ifyou can see it, it isn’t that deep, i
