@PatOBrienPhoto Found them - looks like zone == county in many cases, but sometimes not depending on state/region: nws.noaa.gov/geodata/catalo…

@PatOBrienPhoto FIPS codes are easy to find, but I'm not sure where to find UGC zone boundaries

@PatOBrienPhoto you'll probably need to build a lookup table ahead of time that maps codes -> polygons (like a python dict or json object) and use that

@PatOBrienPhoto I think that's how it works. It's been a while since I looked at this stuff.

@PatOBrienPhoto polygons in messages are special cases, most of the time FIPS (county) and UGC (zone) codes are given and then the polys are implied

@PatOBrienPhoto Yeah, the NWS feed has coordinates as (latitude, longitude) and GeoJSON coordinates are (longitude, latitude)

@PatOBrienPhoto @hydrologee @TNRIS The fix is to set a "User-Agent" header (anything seems to work). Kinda goofy, but whatever: gist.github.com/wilsaj/bc409ea…

@PatOBrienPhoto @hydrologee @TNRIS It looks like NWS has something weird going on where if there is no "User-Agent" header, then they deny the request and return a 403 status

@PatOBrienPhoto Sure, what's up?

@hydrologee wasn't that a disco group? KC and the Sunshine oh-shit-forgot-my-bag

@spatialaustin The heartbreaking story of a UAV returning from war to find that the new model home drone village it grew up in is now empty.

@DanKeshet @spatialaustin "new construction"? Or is there something strange in our neighborhood? pic.twitter.com/1e7rDjFsLv

@sarasomewhere so do you put on a poofy hat and make programs that you can pretend are choo-choo trains or do you just write programs?
