[idvdevelopers] HRRR PTYPE Bundle O' Fun

Hi all,

I thought that those of you who might actually be in a place where springlike 
weather is actually occurring might enjoy this little bundle that shows p-type 
characteristics from the HRRR, centered over Albany (where we have remained 
tantalizingly close to the snow line, but according to the HRRR, still have a 
few more hours for a changeover).  This should auto-update with each new hour 
of HRRR output.

This is made with 5.0.  It is also served on our RAMADDA server 
ramadda.atmos.albany.edu:8080/repository under IDV Bundles - - >  HRRR.

Question 1:  how might I easily be able to replace "Precipitation_TypeN", where 
N=1 to 4, with Snow, IP, FZRA, RA in the legends?
Question 2:  Although I selected the data set using the "Latest OPenDAP Data" 
in my HRRR catalog, whenever I check out the Data Properties via the Data menu, 
it always will show the date/time corresponding to the time used when I created 
the bundle ... e.g. 1403121800_hrrr_141.grib2.  I can edit the .xidv file to 
replace that string with "Latest OpenDAP" or the like, but it seems that this 
should happen automatically when the IDV loads the "Latest" data source from a 
catalog.  Maybe this is specific to data housed on a RAMADDA as opposed to 
THREDDS server ... not sure.

Enjoy ...

--Kevin
