We could not stablished connectivity to TCEQ internet connection.  We did have connection using Verizon mobile card.

 We did not restart the computer remotely because we were afraid it would not come back as it  was proven  when it was done on 3/5 right before we left for the site.

The computer was restarted - it still giving a message that the operating system is not where it is looking for.  Jason suggests that the mother board might be dying.

20180128 Wind profiler NOAA data

The data in the MADIS website looks like it had been updating every hour .  I believe this has something to the government shutdown (Dec. 22, 2018 to Jan 25, 2019) .  The last 3 hours it appears that things are back to normal.  I will wait for a day to make sure but if things are not back to normal I will contact MADIS.  White graphs  with missing data is MADIS.  Black graph is from local computer and the one display at the TCEQ public site.
