Hi Jesse,

Sorry I didn't respond to that part of your previous message.  If I recall 
correctly,
we used to have a menu item for the snowfall accumulation in our AWIPS and we 
noticed
sometime last year that it wasn't working, so it was removed.  We have not 
investigated why it was not working, but it is on a list and I'll try and see 
if we
can bump it up the priority, especially considering we're heading right into 
the 
middle of winter right now.  Thanks for bringing it up.

This is really something you'd have to try out on whatever machine you end up 
getting
for running EDEX.  With the more data you receive, the longer the processing 
times 
become to decode and ingest them into your EDEX.  So, at some point your 
latencies
end up becoming so great you never actually get real-time data.  
So, it's not something I can give you really definitive answers on, especially 
without knowing some specs on the machine you'd be intending to use as your 
EDEX 
server.

Just for reference between our three EDEX machines we're receiving an average 
of 
~140 Gb/hour, with peaks of over double that.  So, that gives you a bit more 
context
of how much data our EDEX server system is processing.

Thanks.
