NOTE: This rollover time is totally independent of any overall 'log rollover' time set in station screen as accessed from Configuation menu. You may use midnight rollover, but want to go out and record manual observations (including measuring any snow) each morning at 9am (or any other time).
== Web tags available for your web site ==
= Cumulus MX implementation =
There are a number of differences between the Cumulus 1 and MX implemenations. Please read more at [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=17919&p=139854&hilit=weather+diary#p139854 Weather Diary (C1 and MX Differences)]
== Where to find the editor ==
=Snow=
The weather station models that Cumulus is programmed for do not include any automated snow measurement. So Cumulus does not treat Snow the same way as automated measurements (until it melts and any left on top of, or inside, a rain gauge is counted as rain). Instead Cumulus assumes you will manually insert information.
==Entering Snow Information==
You can go outside with a ruler and measure the depth of any lying snow.
The option Weather Diary within the ''View'' menu allows you to navigate to the appropriate day (see above) and:
==Displaying on a customised web page==
If you understand HTML table syntax, the [[Webtag]] ''<#snowdepth>'' can be inserted on a ( for example the ''todayT.htm'') web template (see [[Customised templates]]) to display the snow depth (updating at time set in [[Cumulus.ini]] as explained above. If you understand JavaScript and HTML, you can arrange to upload a background with a scale on which the script can use ''<#snowdepth>'' to overlay the correct depth as a white blanket for example. The script would have similarities to the current part of the script provided with Cumulus that plots rainfall as a bar chart.
