This works well, but for now, I am only using the ADPSFC option, so I think most of what is being compared are the ASOS stations.

I also tried re-running PB2NC setting quality_mark_thresh to 9, just to make sure the mesonet data was not being overlooked because of percieved quality issues. And then I re-ran point-stat and got the same output.
