ENSPOST precipitation fields

[Angel Dimitrov]

 Alessandro,

 How are you? :)

 I have problems with nomad1-2-3 servers... "connection failed". It
worked before few hours but now they doesn't work well. From my linux
I can connect but from my windows with WXOB I can't get data.

 Which server is most reliable? tgftp.nws.noaa.gov? or which?
ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov have intro message that it is not 7x24 and it's
better tgftp.nws.noaa.gov to be used. What do you think?
