metar fails with the following error message:
METAR pattern not found in NOAA data.

This happens both when I use the station ID, or when I
download the metar data from NOAA into a file and use the
METARURL method.  The data is in the form

KSLC 142253Z 01008KT 10SM CLR 33/M07 A3001 RMK AO2 SLP105 T03331067

for instance, which does in fact work correctly with such programs as
the gkrellm weather plugin.
