I may be shooting in the breeze here but looking at the fortran
routines from ncep:

 http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/codes/GRIB2/

different values are given for weasd than what are listed
in the gvars

note from ncep:
      data paramlist(65)%abbrev   /'WEASD   '/
      data paramlist(66)%g1tblver /2/
      data paramlist(66)%grib1val /66/
      data paramlist(66)%grib2dsc /0/
      data paramlist(66)%grib2cat /1/
      data paramlist(66)%grib2num /11/

and from g2varswmo2.tbl:
!D# CT# ID# PD# NAME                             UNITS                GNAM
