Version :: 4.40.1

I finished up adding and editing the traffic-cams along I-80 in Southern Wyoming this afternoon. I should have all new DOT cams plotted in Wyoming now.

I also noticed some formatting errors in the Database file, so cleaned that up some... These were in the separation   tags between the direction information and alternative cam links in the infoWindows.

Those should be taken care of for consistency purposes.

Since we forecast specifically for Wyoming and learning that WY-DOT had added more traffic-cams along the I-80 corridor of Srn Wyoming I've been adding these from west to east throughout this afternoon.

Version :: 4.38.1

I'm tired of waiting to hear from the Oklahoma DOT and I asked permission to include their traffic-cams nearly 5 months ago. If they see the increased bandwidth and come after me, I'll gladly take them off, but for now, to satisfy my fellow Meteorologists, Chasers, and colleagues in the Southern Plains, I've started to add them.

Just noticed moments ago that the webcam atop the parking garage in downtown Grand Forks, ND is operational once again. The cam went inoperable almost 2 years ago so I hadn't listed it since.

So, we have another cam in Grand Forks now... It faces the convergence of the Red Lake River and the Red River.

Version :: 4.36.1

I had a co-worker shoot me an E-mail last evening concerning a few cams he had found in and around the Jamestown, ND area.

So, I spent about a half-hour adding these. They actually were alternate cams for the one I already had from the same source. So, I only added a link to them from the infoWindow for the one I already have. They were all java applets, as well, and couldn't pull a static image.

While playing around though, I did find a new static web-cam in Jamestown.

Added the final KS-DOT cam near Manhattan, KS and made a minor edit to the other Manhattan cam. In addition, made a few other additions in and around Kansas City - mainly from KCTV's city-wide camera network. As such, some where in Kansas, others in Missouri. Probably, the first additions I've made in Missouri in quite a while.

I've lost daylight, but I still wanted to work on some cams in Kansas, since I'm spending extra time down there lately. I tended to some AWS cams around the state, removing one that hadn't updated in quite some time and others that are functioning once again or are new.

Besides additions of KS-DOT cams today, I also needed to run some maintenance on the Version Log itself. Somehow, I had managed to miss a day of upgrades, so my version numbers didn't exactly line up correctly. That has been corrected.

Otherwise, like I stated, I continued adding the KS-DOT cams along I-70 and edited others, mainly for descriptions.

Didn't quite have as much time today at work, but did add a few more cams along the I-70 corridor through Kansas. Will work on adding more tomorrow morning and early-afternoon.

Cheers!

Version 4.32.2

I tried to get home tonight to work on more cams in Kansas, but I lost out to daylight. Plus, "The Office" was on tonight and I couldn't miss my favorite show on television.

The cams along I-70 were a bit difficult to place and in most of these locations, there isn't enough light to place features. So, I'll hold out until tomorrow to get more of these completed.

If I have some time at work, I may put some effort into it. If not, I'll put some time in after work tomorrow evening or on Saturday. I did post a couple more and edited the cam at Salina to fix a broken URL.

Version :: 4.32.1

I noticed today while sweeping across the country at webcams, that Kansas has finally (yes, finally!) added additional cameras along I-70. This was a long time coming.

Since I had some extra time this afternoon at work, I started plotting some of these. There are several more to add, but I'll work on getting these added later this evening.

Version :: 4.31.1

It's been a long while since I've actually edited, added or removed any webcams, but today I had some extra time at work to do so. Mainly started going through and doing some maintenance. That's needed most of all, so will likely slowly start going through all my cams.

I'm beginning in the northeast and will slowly progress to the south and west. As such, New Hampshire was first up. I made some fixes on URLs and some minor location fixes on a few cams. Added a few more across the state, mainly in and around the Pittsburg, NH area, however, added a couple of others. Also, added a couple in Maine, however won't official add Maine to the state index on the main page yet. With only two cams (at one location), it's not worth adding it.
