Doing a web tag for the 'snow index' is tricky with the current code, because it's worked out by extracting the diary entries for all of the dates between July and the following June (for the northern hemisphere) and adding up all of the snow totals for those days. Doing that on every web update is probably not a good idea if the diary is large. I added the daily snow depth web tag that you don't like because someone asked for it, it was easy to do, and it shouldn't take up too much processing on each web update.

Happy New Year to you too :)

Personally, I like the snow depth webtag. My folks back home can see for themselves the crazy snow we get up here at times. Thanks Steve.

As far as the snow depth automatically "dropping off" to 0 the next day...just go into the weather diary and populate the snow depth out a few days in advance with todays value. Then you can then simply update the current days value at your leisure.

Brian, if one has any knowledge of PHP one can/could design a small script that could:

- first be programmed to be active between a span of a few months (such as between November and April);
- then memorize and cumulate any snow entries found in the <#snowdepth> tag.

A new tag such as <#snowseason> would be created and written to disk. When there is no snow during a day, the <#snowdepth> tag would display a value of '0' (zero) under the header of 'Snow for the day', whereas the <#snowseason> tag would be read from disk and display the cumulative value that it contains under the header of 'Snow for the season'...
