[smilie=axe.gif] Once again env. canada pressure slope grid is down...Don't worry though techies will have it working by last thursday...jim...update:nov.23 grid is back,but 9999999999999999 everywhere. ALSO: a north slope was mentioned on a s.e. day. J.l.

Caution, env. canada isn't updating pressure...currently showing aug 21 info...
