This is the app that builds the static site for Follow the Snow. It goes througha list of ski resorts and locations to get the snow report (inches fallen).

Building the site will take awhile. The OpenWeather API is used to getinformation about current and upcoming snow conditions. They rate limit prettyheavily, so asleep is put in between every API call.

This will manually build the site.

bundle installrake build# or rake fastruby -run -ehttpd docs/ -p8000

Then commit the changed pages, which will be deployed as a static site viaGithub Pages and Cloudflare.

The page is build every morning from 6am MST, so that latest snow totals for theday are available. This is usingGithub Actionsto do so.

Everything is tested because it should be.

bundle installbundleexec rspec

All the resorts are in CSV files inresorts/ by country. They are scraped viarake scrape from respective Wikipedia pages.

Exploring getting information from website via scraping. Haven't done it becauseit would cost money.

document.body.querySelectorAll("nav,header,footer,form,button,iframe,script,[role]",).forEach((node)=>node.remove());document.body.textContent.trim().replace(/\s+/g," ");

Using this content into an ChatGPT prompt:
