Harry,

Yes, we can make this data available. I have been working with Steve Sennis at Pelmorex
and they are feeing us here. I haven't yet has the opportunity to put together
a web page documenting the data which they are ingesting as an EXP feed. 

The individual site data are ascii files of individual point values of CAPPI data. I have 
modified gdradr (as gdradrc) to composite the products into a product for combining with
the nexrad data (the Canadian files are precipitation rate instead of dBZ so there is
a conversion back to dBZ in gdradrc for the rain/snow seasonal files) which I plan on
putting in the FNEXRAD mosaic product here.

Let me work with Tom and Mike regarding how to set up the EXP data to the idd.unidata.ucar.edu
cluster and put together the data documentation that Steve Sennis provided.
