[python #DGC-337873]: Run MetPy on Google Colab?

Greetings!

Thanks for sharing the colab link, that's made it really easy to test. It 
appears that the version of cartopy included on the version of Linux running 
colab is really out of date:

  Cartopy                       0.14.2

Now it would be nice if MetPy didn't fail there since you're not using CartoPy, 
but that's not something we can readily solve to get you up and running. I got 
it to work using the following in the first cell:

    !pip install metpy
    !apt-get -qq install libproj-dev libgeos-dev
    !pip install shapely --no-binary shapely cartopy

Hope this helps,

Ryan
