Hi Miguel Can you comment on the physical reasoning for the METRo model only distinguishing between dry and wet observed road conditions, i.e. not being concerned about other road conditions ? Is this something that you consider could be improved or is it considered adequate within the scale of features that the model is intended to resolve ?

Yes, this is accurate. > There seem to be other "dry" SSI codes: 3, 53, and 103. Do you have a link to a web page that indicates what the SSI codes mean? If you really want METRo to convert those 3 numbers (that come from the input observation file) to "dry", we could easely to do that. But we will only do that if you will be using it.
