Hi,
Thanks for the correction, I will add it in my version. I don't know if the new version of GEMPAK has these modifications 
added, I didn't upgrade because I am not sure.

Hi Christian,

Nice work at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/coohl/mhonarc/MailArchives/gempak/msg04693.
html

you could add:

     +               remark ( 1:2 ) .eq. 'SN' .or.
to the block below. Snow and fog can both partially or completely obscure the 
sky. I suppose those are all the possible opacity prefixes (?).
