More on streamline maps... I'm not sure if this site has been advertised on this list, but since streamlines have popped up in this conversation, my favorite analysis site for these produces is coolwx.com. Here's a link to the site's section on surface streamlines.

David and others, You were asking about where to get archived soundings/wind data. There is a lovely archive at the University of Wyoming's website here: http://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/sounding.html and equivalent archived upper-air maps here: http://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/uamap.html
