[python #PHR-160601]: MetPy Help

Greetings!

My first (and right now only) guess is that you need to convert your u/v 
collections from lists to arrays. Easiest way is probably to change the lines 
that attach units to:

    u = np.array(u) * units('m/s')
    v = np.array(v) * units('m/s')

If that doesn't help, can you post a sample input grib file somewhere I can 
grab it?

Cheers,

Ryan
