Sounds cool. Any idea why all the sites of the .kmz file I got (4112) are gray ("missing")?

The .kmz files are generated by a multi-step process which is run at the National Water and Climate Center every 6 hours or so.  If there is a hiccup anywhere in the process (such as a SNOTEL master station not reporting or the failure of a script to run) the data can turn up missing.   In this case, a cron failed to retrieve the SWE averages from the database (this is why all of the % of AVG symbols are gray or "missing").  The .kmz files are currently functional and will display current SWE, water year precipitation, and snow depth when individual sites are selected.  If you check back later today the % of average issue should be resolved!   ;)
