Topic: wxnwswinter.php

I noticed my wxnwswinter.php page isn't working.  From what I can tell, I think my local office changed the graphics name or location.  Can someone see what's going on?

If you do a view source, you can see the image it's trying to pull.

Code: [Select]

<table width="656px" align="center">
<tr><td align="center">

    <img src="https://www.weather.gov/images/bis/winter/StormTotalSnowWeb.jpg" width="656" alt="Snowfall Prediction Missing"/>
</td>
</tr></table>
which isn't there.

Going to the Bismarck winter weather page:

the main graphic there uses the image https://www.weather.gov/images/bis/ProbMessaging/StormTotalSnow_BIS.png

The Bismarck WFO have gone crazy with their winter weather graphics naming scheme!  I've fixed the 'Expect This Much', but not the others.  The Ice prediction has gone to a statewide ND prediction rather than a WFO-specific prediction, and because of the importance of this forecast I've included enough spaghetti code to point to the correct graphic.  The rest...pffft!  They're stale right now.  Anyone interested enough to pursue them can view the current graphics through the WFO link at the bottom of the page.

The only changes are in the 'inc-nwswinter.php' script, which is all you would need to replace at this time.  You can find the zip on my scripts page.

Boston keeps changing their minds about whether to include "_BOX" in the image file names. So I succumbed and now check for both and use whatever is newest.

Thanks, Jasiu!  I did look at Boston when I was updating the script, but I didn't do a comprehensive run-through of all of the WFO's like I did when I was creating the script.  The script pulls up current graphics today for Boston.

Thanks for the update!

It looks like Bismarck has sorted through their naming problems with this page, and this morning all of the graphics are displaying and are up to date.
