Greetings!

That's alarming. Can you send me the output of `conda list -n unidata`? I want 
to confirm that CartoPy rolled back properly.

Also, I have one idea that a stale file may be sitting around. Can you try 
re-install metpy?

    conda remove -n unidata metpy
    conda install -c conda-forge -n unidata metpy

With any luck that may resolve it. If not, we can keep digging.
