[Met_help] Observed winds for point-stat

[Masters.Steve]

I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I want to be sure...

When producing observed wind data files for point-stat (via assci2nc),
do we need to rotate the wind directions into the WRF grid, or do we use
the reported earth-relative wind directions from the observations?

Some of the nudging/initialization documentation with WRF seem to
indicate that is necessary for creating observed data files for the WRF
simulations.  I haven't seen any mention of it for MET, but I want to
make sure.
