A note that now with explicit support for hourly data we should be able to put those data into correct timezone to make accurate datetime objects for data from across multiple timezones.

The StationMetadata should include stationDataTimeZone attribute which can be added to cached SCAN_SNOTEL_metadata data object in the package rather than queried on the fly. This value can be used inside the fetchSCAN internal methods for conversion of each sensor time series within a site https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/wcc/home/dataAccessHelp/webService/webServiceReference/

stationDataTimeZone BigDecimal The time zone in which the station collects data.

This does not work, but close.
