Not necessary, The model will read through all the previous ICBC files
then find the right date at restart time.

If you want to have the whole month in one file, you have to restart
from ICBC.1977090100.

To restart from 1977092500, you don't need prepare ICBC.1977092500,
ICBC.1977090100 should work.
