At this time, the duration of the scheduled data outage is estimated to be approximately 24 hours from 1/24/2014 5:00pm to 1/25/2014 5:00pm MT. We will keep you informed on the status. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Email: address@hidden Phone: 303-497-6887 Please be aware that our email and office phone will be unreachable during the maintenance window. Please contact us by our cell phone: 303-652-7057 if needed. Thanks for your cooperation! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ESRL/GSD/ITS/Systems Support Group Since you are feeding directly from GSD, it seems that you should be included in the email list that they used to announce outages like this, but I guess that you are not. Since we do not control GSD's email list(s), you will need to contact them directly to get added. re: > Thanks a bunch, No worries.
