When running nagrib, the date is Feb 30 instead of March 1. This appears to be in the raw data as I've output the time as the PDS info is read from the grib file. Eta grids processed fine. Before I spend any time trying to resolve this, I'd be curious if this is a problem with all the RUC grids or another hidden feature of the leap year problem. Thanks John
