[gradsusr] Snow depth in GFS files?

 Hello!

I'm accustomed to use "weasdsfc" variable from GFS to display snow cover
depth (in fact, it's water equivalent). But, it seems that this variable
is now empty - it looks like it does not work anymore after major GFS
upgrade performed on date 2010-07-28. The files I use are
"gfs.t12z.pgrb2bfxx" from
http://www.ftp.ncep.noaa.gov/data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/gfs.xxxxxxxxxx/

Now GrADS gives "Cannot contour grid - all undefined values" if I
display "weasdsfc" variable. Is there any workaround to get snow cover
depth from GFS now?

Thanks in advance,
Ivan
