binary raster files in GrADS

[Dan Leins]

All,

I am trying to download and view a gridded dataset of 24hr snowfall from
NOAA/NOHRSC using GrADS. So far, I've downloaded the dataset in question,
un-tarred it and briefly read through some information about the data type.
It would appear to contain 2 files, one a text header and the other a binary
raster file.  Does anyone know if GrADS will accept this as a data type, and
if not, how to convert it to something a little more "GrADS-friendly"?  I've
worked with binary files in the past so I'm aware that GrADS can use binary
files so long as there is a control file specified, however I wouldn't even
know where to begin looking for or creating a control file from scratch.

The data in question can be accessed here...

Thanks,
Dan
