mswx//nerds Monte Sano weather ops

Network every sensor, grouped by composite

Two composites lead: MSWX (the Monte Sano plateau — trimmed mean of 5 ridge PWS) and HSVWX (Downtown — trimmed mean of 6 valley PWS). Each composite is followed by its live members. Everything not in a composite — NWS airports first, then other PWS — sits below.
