Hello!

The page you are accessing for that example is from MetPy 0.3 (2016) and 
out-of-date. The current function you're looking for is `wind_components` 
(https://unidata.github.io/MetPy/latest/api/generated/metpy.calc.wind_components.html)
 and a comparable example with the up-to-date syntax is available at 
https://unidata.github.io/MetPy/latest/examples/plots/Station_Plot_with_Layout.html

Thanks for all of your provided information, it's always helpful and 
appreciated. I hope this helps and points you in the right direction! If not, 
don't hesitate to follow up.


All the best,

Drew
