Meteorlogy Symbology

[your_dreamguy]

Hello,

I have been starting to see some weird symbols in the paperwoork lately. Does anybody know what "51005" or "$" stand for (in the aviation weather section)? I remember someone posted a website that gave explanations to all these symbols and terms. Can someone re-post these website(s)? Thank you.

Only the French understand Metar and of all things, why anyone thought Jerry Lewis was ever funny.

Thank you, you cheese eating surrender monkeys!

You can call them surrender monkeys if you want, but why would anyone diss all that yummy, smelly CHEESE!

Plus, their women are hot.
