Thanks Jamey for the additional info.

There could be some reluctance to add ASOS (esp. early ASOS - maybe they haven't been 'approved' yet? Anybody who knows please step in here) stations. All three of these are probably Automated non-augmented ASOS stations I'm guessing. Keep in mind too that these type of stations are sometimes subject to errors in data especially precip type - I have sent an e-mail to the lady I used to work with at NCDC who has worked with the ASOS data to ask her opinion on the accuracy of the data, I will let you guys know what I hear back. > You can access the NOAA URL (Current Conditions page) for these also. As noted above.
