I wanted to experiment with some new seasonal snowfall accumulation data
from this link: https://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/snowfall/
The seasonal data is in NetCDF form. I downloaded the file and attempted to
open it with 'sdfopen' which gave me the following:

gadsdf: SDF file has no discernable X coordinate.
To open this file with GrADS, use a descriptor file with an XDEF entry.
Documentation is at http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/SDFdescriptorfile.html
Next, I attempted to make a ctl file and use 'xdfopen'. I used ncdump on
the netcdf file and got this output:

precipitation estimates (QPE) (i.e., operational mosaics of QPE generated
at River Forecast Centers), with the snow proportion determined by snow
water:precipitation ratios in 3-hour High Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR)
forecasts. The resulting accumulated snow water equivalent amount is
converted to accumulated snowfall using gridded
snowfall-to-liquid-equivalent ratios estimated from the 1985-2015
climatology of daily Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN-D)
precipitation and snowfall observations. Differences between the resulting
background estimate and observed 24-hour snowfall observations are
interpolated spatially in two ordinary kriging passes, the first for bias
adjustment, the second for error correction. This process is performed on a
144 arc-second (0.04 degree) longitude/latitude grid over the Conterminous
United States. This file provides a 114-day aggregation of 24-hour analysis
results, not an independent 114-day analysis." ;

I used this data to create this very basic ctl file following the
guidelines from GrADS documentation:
DSET ^sfav2_CONUS_2017093012_to_2018012212.nc
TITLE NOHRSC Seasonal Snowfall Accumulation

YDEF lon 850 LINEAR 21.02 0.04
VARS 1
Data=>snow 1 Y,X Snowfall
ENDVARS
I then tried opening the file in GrADS:

Can anyone point me to what I'm missing or help me display this data? I'm
not really sure what the 'data attribute type not supported' errors are
either - I can't seem to find much on it.
Thanks!
