Greetings!

Thanks for the kind words. We would definitely like to do more to parse some 
important fields from the remarks section (I assume that's where you're talking 
about?), but we haven't gotten around to it yet.

It'd be great if you could open a feature request to add it so we can capture 
the community interest:

  
https://github.com/Unidata/MetPy/issues/new?assignees=&labels=Type%3A+Feature&template=feature_request.md

You might also mention providing access to the remarks section, since I see 
that we don't even do that right now (oops). A Pull Request implementing it 
would be even more awesome, but I know that's a big ask.

Cheers,

Ryan
