There's a dearth of information on Growing Degree Days (GDD) for weewx.  
Hopefully someone out there has done it.

I see the [StdReport] [[Units]] [[[Groups]]] > 'group_degree_day', of which 
'growdeg' is a member.  
https://weewx.com/docs/5.1/reference/units/?h=growdeg

And I see [StdReport] [[Units]] [[[DegreeDays]]] > 'growing_base = 50.0, 
degree_F'
https://weewx.com/docs/5.1/reference/skin-options/units/?h=grow#growing_base

And that's about it in terms of references to GDD.  

GDD is a pretty simple calculation, done either with the average of (daily 
High and daily Low) or the mean daily temperature, minus the base 
temperature of 32F/0C for cool season zones or 50F/10C for warm season 
zones. 
There's an If/Else logic required to handle GDD that would be negative, 
where IF(((HiF + LoF)/2)-50F) < 0, GDD = 0, ELSE GDD = ((HiF + LoF)/2)-50F) 

[ or alternately, just $day.outTemp.avg - growing_base ]

Within weewx, I can find $day.outTemp.avg, but how would I pull out GDD for 
use in any of my templates? Is 'growdeg' available as a software-derived 
observation and I'm just overlooking it, or is it something I have to make 
in say, [[StdCalibrate]] > [[[Corrections]]] ?
