yo Window snow total

[steve03222]

I am using Yowindow 3, my PWS station is reporting 2" snow. Yp Window shows .08"
I checked the XML file and it is showing 2.0"

Also another question, is there an option to show total rainfall & snowfall totals when it is in screensaver mode?
I have check the show everything, but it is not there.
It is there if I view data from the mouse over in the tray and if I open Yowindow up.
Thanks, Steve

I have a similar problem. Snow total is 3 inches. XML shows 3 inches but yowindow has .12 inches

Hey, guys!
Is this YoWindow 3 only or YoWindow widget also displays wrong snow level?

[ikarus1969]

The obviously wrong calculation goes that way:
take the value from the xml, divide it by 2.45 (which is the factor you have to divide a value by to get centimeters from inches) and divide the result by 10.
The resulting value is what YoWindow displays.

Example from steve03222: in his xml there's a value of 2. By dividing that by 2.54 you get 0.78. Divide that by 10 and you get 0.08 which is displayed by YoWindow

Example from tph06784: in his xml there's a value of 3. By dividing that by 2.54 you get 1.18. Divide that by 10 and you get 0.12 which is displayed by YoWindow

Maybe that helps Pavel to find the error.

I only have YoWindow 3. Today I have 9.5" snow and YoWindow shows .37"

Fixed, it was an error in YoWindow 3 when snow level was provided in inches.
Check out b51

[steve03222]

OK, I tried RC B51 and no snow total showed at all.
I also noticed that the temp did not match my PWS.
I checked and the URL is missing for my PWS and I do not remember what I am supposed to put there.

OK, I found out what I was supposed to use for th eURL.
Snow Total issue is now correct.
Thanks You Steve
