Where did SnowAmt and IceAccum go?

Hi,

Just updated to version 8 yesterday. Overnight shift noticed that SnowAmt, IceAccum, QPF (although QPF06 was there)  were not in the Foundational grid lineup in step 2 and 4. Also that SnowAmt and IceAccum do NOT get populated.

I tested this in practice mode and they did not, however, SnowAmt6hr, IceAccum6hr and SnowAmt12 do get populated.

 

I added the varDict["Also Update SnowAmt and IceAccum ? "] = "Yes" and they were still not updated.

 

What do I need to put in the config to get all that we had before version 8.

Ron,

 

I have a quick fix for you. In the ForecastBuilderRegionalConfig Utility, comment out the following lines in the ER_Configuration section (should be lines 731-733):

​​​​​​​

            gridDef["QPF06", "gridName"] = "QPF6hr"

            gridDef["SnowAmt06", "gridName"] = "SnowAmt6hr"

            gridDef["IceAccum06", "gridName"] = "IceAccum6hr"

 

We are planning a point release to be disseminated tomorrow to fix this (and a few other changes), so you could wait until that goes out if you would rather.

 

Thanks for the feedback here!
