[MCR] Parks Canada Data Logger info for Banff, Kootenay and Yoho National Parks

We had a glitch in our programming, and the raw data from our data-loggers
that is posted at:


http://www.avalanche.ca/cac/pre-trip-planning/weather/real-time-weather-dataloggers

was actually data from 2010. (So no, it was not really +2.0 at Bow Summit
on the 12th of January.) The problem has now been fixed, and the data
posted should be accurate. Unfortunately, we have a phone line issue right
now so we are not getting Sunshine or Vermilion data, but we hope to have
this fixed soon.

In addition we have developed three new graphic pages that combine the
snowfall and wind stations into one page. There will be one for Sunshine,
Vermilion and Bow Summit See the Bow Summit example here:

There will soon be a link to these pages on the CAA weather page.

Enjoy the powder, safely!
