After few tests with this PHP script (Thank you BTW for sharing it), I came to the conclusion the code for Ice Pellets is not the right one. More precisely, on line #143 the code :
'PE' => 'ice pellets',
should be replaced by
'PL' => 'ice pellets',

Here is sample METAR for Montreal I used : CYUL 081236Z 15019G24KT 4SM -FZDZ -PL DRSN OVC020 M02/M05 A2978 RMK NS8 SLP087

It's funny how US operates differently than Europe and Australia :) In Australia we don't know MPS for planes so we are using kt (and that's how metars are displaying) I see there is function that is converting KT to MPS and displaying in MPS so it would be nice to also get stuff in KT and not needing to convert it back from float number :)

When we get cloud height it's only in meters and I need to convert it back to feet

I see that BOM in australia can return /////// as null cloud, and get error:
