Yup, motherlode.ucar.edu (aka adde.ucar.edu) crashed this morning.
Brian got it back up at around 15:15Z.
I just checked to make sure that the NEXRAD Level III composite images
are once again being created:

imglist.k: done
This listing shows that the outage started at around 12:30Z and ended
somewhere around 15:12Z (it takes about 7 minutes to composite the
images).
Cheers,
Tom
