YoWindow Forum

Dear Pavel,

We have snow on the ground (20cm) here in Belgium for already at least a week and Yowindow still shows no snowed landscape... And that is a pity!
I believe your program switches to snowed landscape when temps are below -5°C. And that is not realistic. Here in Belgium, snow usually comes at temperatures between -3 and 0°C. Below that we have dry cold weather.
Suggest to change the snow parameters in your program as follows: snowed landscape for days where min and max temps are 0°C or below and it is snowing of course. Normal landscape should be shown again when, for subsequent days after snowed landscape, the max temp is above 1°C (snow needs time to melt) for at least 1 day.
Believe this is a minimal and easy parameter change.
No requirement for showing snow thickness on the landscape. Yes, for the statistics.
Appreciate your program very much.
Greetings
Robino

hi Robino,

welcome on board and thanks for your good ideas in terms of the seasons on YoWindow.
You did watch and describe the weather perfectly.

Your idea for a new algorithm is not too bad and compares with my thoughts.
Minus 5 Celsius is not a good idea.
I hope Pasha will find the time to think about it and to work on it in this winter.

kind regards from a snowy place in Germany

Hi guys,

It took me some time to find it, but this has been discussed before: http://site2.yowindow.com/forum/viewtop ... 54&start=0

I'm convinced this is a difficult one.
If it would be easy Pasha would have changed it already.
Still something to think about, when time will let us, I would say.

Thanks,
Fred

Hey, Robino, Fred has answered for me, I'm sorry we need a better algorithm or to use a service that reports snow coverage.
Probably in this case it makes sense to adjust the season-map for Belgium...
