[gradsusr] Trying to plot values (grid? ascii?) of weasdsfc onto map.

[Christopher Gilroy]

I do want it to draw snowfall amounts, but like in the two images, not
"griddy". If you look at,
http://blog.chron.com/weather/wp-content/blogs.dir/2579/files/2014/01/gfs_6hr_snow_acc_se_19.png
that doesn't appear to be drawing those numbers based on a grid at all.
They are all scattered about on the map with no real "grid" structure to
them. The only way I know how to "control" the frequency (perhaps
"stepping" might be a better word?) of the drawing of values would really
be to maskout coupled with re-gridding so it doesn't put a number on every
possible area that weasdsfc has a value for is. If that makes sense?
