This may not be the right day to enter current information as the rollover time for Weather Diary information is configurable using [[Cumulus.ini_(Cumulus_1)]]  e.g. ''SnowDepthHour=9'' means everything (not just snow depth) in yesterday's diary entry applies until 9am.

The SnowDepthHour label applies because the only part of the diary that is, in the original Cumulus 1, converted to a [[Webtags#Today|web tags]] is Snow Depth, and the time set is when ''<#snowdepth>'' is updated with the current day's value, until then it shows the value on yesterday's diary page. For MX, other web tags are available, and these apply to same day.

NOTE: This rollover time is totally independent of any overall 'log rollover' time set in station screen as accessed from Configuration 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).
