Hoodoo Butte is a 5700' (1737 m) volcanic cinder cone located on the crest of the Cascade Range in central Oregon.

Notes:
  • Other sources of information

  • 2015 08/15 - Weather Underground "local" map of current conditions
  • 2019 11/10 - Uploading raw weather data for today, one day ago, and two days ago. Tab-separated data columns, so you can "Open With" a spreadsheet program.
    - Files are uploaded shortly after the hours of 8, 12, 16, 20.
  • 2019 12/21 - Moon phase (%) is good, but the code for computing moon rise & set times never seemed to work, so try web pages like this one.
  • 2020 03/14 - Snow depth raw data, to investigate correlation to times & events.
  • 2020 03/14 - Not just weather, but an interesting map that has weather information embedded in it.
  • 2022 03/11 - Link to a new 12 hour summary file, to allow COAC ( Central Oregon Avalanche Center) to add Hoodoo Butte weather information to their map. The file is a ".CSV" type, which at least one browser keeps trying to open as a ".XLS" type. Other browsers have opened the CSV files just fine.
  • 2022 11/05 - Plugged-in and turned-on heaters for wind speed & wind direction sensors.
  • 2022 11/12 - Added link to 2022-23 Winter Summary. Made a new graph from scratch - Rough, but it's there.
  • 2023 11/1 - Finished migration to the new web site, e.g. https://santiampsp.org/wx/weather.htm
  • 2023 11/4 - Powered-on heaters for wind speed & wind direction sensors.
  • 2024 01/5 - A note about spikes on the air quality graph: The sensor is in a structure which also houses snowmobiles. When those machines come and go their exhaust lingers in the structure for several minutes.
  • 2024 01/27 - The snow depth data has an annoying software bug, in addition to an annoying hardware problem. We'll see what can be done so the successful measurements get displayed.
  • 2024 02/03 - Snow depth code reviewed and changed to not suppress "unexpected" readings. Every measurement between -6 and +240 inches will be included in the graph. (Missing measurements are logged as "-999" and are considered to be and counted as "out-of-range".)
  • 2024 03/10 - Manually shifted datalogger to Daylight time zone just before 7AM. Things should start looking as they should be shortly.
  • 2024 03/10 - There is a snow depth data problem that erases data from the archive files. Cause unknown, Mechanism unknown, Fix to be determined. Just sort of a measurement station's worst nightmare of a problem . . .
