<div>Hello all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a plt_snw.clt file and a snow2010.gdf file on my desktop, But when I open grades, tell it landscape, and type</div>
<div>open plt_snw.clt </div>
<div>It says </div>
<div>Scanning Description file: plt_snw.clt</div>
<div>OPEN ERROR: can't open description file</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I just downloaded grades 2.0.a7.oga.3 self extracting widows version last night and haven't done anything to it yet. I'm using windows 7 64 bit. </div>
<div>Is there something I'm missing?</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Bob<br></div>

<p>Hello All,<br>I'm doing snow Research and looking for a program to covert the climate prediction center (CPC) Northern Hemosphere raw weekly snow data (in 1's and 0's) into a useable number. I don't have much coding experience or computer science background, so i'm not sure how to covert the data myself, or what program to use. Also I don't have any fortran compiler. The CPC does covert the data into a nice table format, but they don't keep it up todate. Their website is <a href="http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/data/snow/" target="_blank">http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/data/snow/</a>. On their website they have a link to grads.<br>
<br>The program they give for reading weekly 89*89 snow data is<br> <br>PROGRAM AREA<br>C*********************************************************************<br>C<br>C THIS PROGRAM SIMPLY READS IN THE SNOW DATA AND<br>C WRITES IT OUT FOR A GIVEN YEAR.<br>

END</p>
<p>I'm using windows 7 64bit operating system. My question is how do i use grads to view the snow data or is there a fortran compiler the above program will work on that i should use instead?<br>Thanks,<br>Bob R Duke</p>
