This is the file where MX stores its Weather Diary

Introduction

The weather diary is created specifically to record any snowfall, but as you can store a comment with any content, a number of Cumulus users are using it to record other entries that can be specific to a day (e.g. hailstorms), or indeed anything that might be recorded in a diary.

Format

The database uses SQLite format and a script to read this can be found in Weather Diary article.

Content

Each record has the following content:

  • Date
  • Time
    • (In early releases, Mark set this to 00:00:00)
    • In later releases, this is set to 01:00:00, to minimise time zone issues.
  • Snow Falling (boolean)
  • Snow Lying (boolean)
  • Snow depth (unsigned decimal number)
  • Entry (a text field for storing comments)
