I agree -- It seems odd to remove a feature like that. The new way the speed is handled (based on how far back you select the radar to go) is clunky. In addition, whenever I load the radar and click play it defaults to playing the "future" radar which I find to be not helpful.

I'm not sure if the "Precipitation Type" colors are some sort of standard, but it seems odd that in a display that is supposed to differentiate rain from snow / mixes / freezing rain, that blue depicts rain and green depicts wet or mixed snow. It seems green = rain on nearly every precipitation visualization, and blue, being a cooler color, is usually used to depict ice or snow. Can these be swapped with green being rain, and then blue / blue-green for wet snow and mixed rain-snow?
