Error downloading 2020 lcd data

[juliannemeehan]

I am trying to download 2020 data using the lcd function:

lcd(72517014737, year = as.integer(2020), verbose = F)

I get the error message: Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, : no lines available in input

I have check the file index: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/local-climatological-data/access/2020/ and there is data for 2020 for this station.

thanks for the issue. I can replicate the problem. it's due most likely to a cached file on disk matching the query, but that is empty or malformed. looking into it

@juliannemeehan please restart R, reinstall like remotes::install_github("ropensci/rnoaa"), then see the new ?lcd_cache, you can manage your lcd cached files with that object.

lcd_cache$delete_all() # or lcd_cache$delete() to delete specific files
lcd(72517014737, 2020)

should work
