Yes, there are many ways to work with netCDF on a PC.

Are you interested in utilities that are already written? I believe
there's one called grads that works on a PC. There are many others,
see:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/software.html

If instead you wish to write your own netCDF programs, you can use the
usual Unix development tools using Cygwin, a port of Unix to Windows.

Alternatively, you could get the netCDF DLL and use Windows
development environments, like Visual Studio, to develop Windows apps
with netCDF.

For more information about getting the DLL, see:

Good luck!
