Phil,

Can't blame you for asking. There will be a little catching of our breath and taking care of other long-deferred tasks not related specifically to implementing RUC2. There is still a resource issue in getting the 12h grouped BUFR output and, as stated before, will look with NCEP at seeing if there is a place to do this. No obvious answers yet but it's on the list. Glad you like the products -- I do also and poke at them a fair bit.
