[gembud] WPC winter probabilities

Hey gembuds,

Has anyone successfully decoded the WPC winter precip probability GRIB files, 
which are located here: ftp://ftp.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/pwpf/conus/pwpf_24hr/ ?

When running them through NAGRIB2 I get the following errors:

 [GB 1]  No GEMPAK parameter name defined for this grid.
 [GB -34]  Could not convert GRIB2 message to GEMPAK grid.


The GRIB2 messages looks like this, which I realize probably doesn't convert in 
a straightforward way to a GEMPAK field name: 
1:0:d=2013112100:ASNOW:surface:CodeTable 4.11=missing:prob >0.0254
2:23442:d=2013112100:ASNOW:surface:CodeTable 4.11=missing:prob >0.0508
3:41685:d=2013112100:ASNOW:surface:CodeTable 4.11=missing:prob >0.1016
4:52983:d=2013112100:ASNOW:surface:CodeTable 4.11=missing:prob >0.1524
5:60796:d=2013112100:ASNOW:surface:CodeTable 4.11=missing:prob >0.2032
6:65559:d=2013112100:ASNOW:surface:CodeTable 4.11=missing:prob >0.3048
7:67086:d=2013112100:ASNOW:surface:CodeTable 4.11=missing:prob >0.4572


If there's an easy way to decode these, I'd appreciate you sending it along 
(but if not, it's not a huge deal -- the WPC's web graphics for these products 
are very nice.)  Thanks!

Russ
