Run model for mean, min, and max temps #8

In the future, it would probably be good if the model were run 3 times (in parallel?): one for the mean daily water temperature (current model), and one each for the min and max daily water temperature. Then these models could be compared. They're likely to be very similar but some people have expressed interest in these different response variables.

One question would be whether we want to use the corresponding mean, min, and max air temperatures. If so, that would make things a little bit more complicated and more would have to be changed.

A practical question is how the outputs would be stored. Each results in it's own subdirectory within that date subdirectory.

Another somewhat practical question is whether it's really of enough value to justify this extra work and the extra computing time and tripling the storage.

I talked to Ben about this a bit, and am planning to make some changes to the database so the user can store min/max/mean daily temperatures. Currently it assumes your storing the mean. So from the database perspective, we should be able to support this in the future.

But yeah, let's focus on just the mean daily for now.
