I have added Snow Squall Warning, Special Marine Warning, and Marine >Weather Statements, and would like to add products such as >Winter Weather >Advisories, Winter Storm Watches/Warnings, Wind Advisories, High Wind >Watches/Warnings, Frost Advisories, Freeze Watches/Warnings etc. I’ve tried to >add some of them on, however it will not >register a proper template.
