Can you give a quick run down on how you were able to do this??

The only thing I've been able to do is zoom out enough to see the acutal
satillite picture of the clouds, but I was unable to find at what level the
tops were, other then perhaps the different shades of white/grey which I
was unable to discern the meaning of. I know there is a section marked
"echo tops" but I thought that was the top of storm cells....

Yep, that's the page. We cycled through the "echo tops" and it
perfectly displayed the high stuff (by selecting the 12000? foot
range), the clear areas in between, and the low stuff (by selecting the
lowest selection -- 3000? feet?). Supposedly this should only display
reflections from precip, but it worked well to depict the clouds --
this time, anyway.

By the way -- we're back in Iowa City. Everything lifted around 11:30
AM, and we were back in the office by 3 PM. It was still pretty scuzzy
from Joliet west to Iowa City, but I never had to drop below 2000 MSL,
and visibilities ranged from 5 to 10 miles all the way -- which was a
damned-sight better than Indiana was yesterday!
