Eric,

The weather here has been pretty nice.  We are finally getting some
much needed precipitation, but the water reserve in the snow pack
is still way below "normal".

There is no timeline for this yet.

At some point, these will go away, but the time is not now.  There are
still several Unidata sites subscribed to WSI for the floater products.
As soon as their contracts expire, or as soon as the NOAAPORT broadcast
can completely replace what they are receiving, we will sunset the
WSI floaters.

>Thanks!

Talk to you later...
