Hi Kevin, re: McIDAS decoding on derecho > It's looking good now, Tom ... thanks! Excellent, I'm glad to hear that things are working now! re: > I do, however, have a question about the archive point data source available > at > adde.ucar.edu in IDV.

Perhaps this is an IDV problem, not with the ADDE server? This is definitely an IDV thing. McIDAS-X can access any day from the POINT archive (and ask for spatial/temporal/parameter subsets). I asked Don about this once, but I don't remember what he said about why things were done the way that they are done. re: > How's the snow? Here in Boulder things are not bad. It is still snowing, but the roads are warm enough that they are just wet. The roads up to my house (Canyon, Sugar Loaf Rd, Primos and Nightshade) are, on the other hand very bad, or, at least they were when I drove down this morning. I am definitely not looking forward to the drive home this evening :-( Let me know if you decide to install McIDAS decoding/serving on your central server. I should be able to help you get through the installation and configurations with no drama :-) Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
