And, Newfoundland (NF) is now Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). This seems to
be up to date now. Note, though, that abbreviations in the nsd_cccc.txt file
might not be as up-to-date as this list: :-)
| New | Old (Eng., Fr) | Name
| ----- | --------------- | ---------------------
| AB | Alta, Alb | Alberta
| BC | B C, C-B | British Columbia
| MB | Man | Manitoba
| NB | N B, N-B | New Brunswick
| NL | Nfld,N L, T-N-L | Newfoundland and Labrador
| NS | N S, N-E | Nova Scotia
| NT | N W T, T N-O | Northwest Territories
| NU | Nvt, Nt | Nunavut
| ON | Ont | Ontario
| PE | P E I, I P E | Prince Edward Island
| QC | Que, Qc, PQ, QU | Quebec
| SK | Sask | Saskatchewan
| YT,YK | Yuk, Yn | Yukon Territory
Many of the entries in nsd_cccc.txt have the province appended to the
location instead of in the State field, but many more have none at all. What
fun!

Mapping to Canadian provinces wouldn't be too
hard; where can I get the
list of stations? Don't know about other countries; you'd have to ask
people from those places for help.

$ grep Canada nsd_cccc.txt
Can you create a simple mapping ( station_ID state_ID) and review the
state_ids below, please?
