Comment:

 I've been using my own hacked up version of mythweather for many months
 now. I took a slightly different approach to the problem. I put the data
 downloading in its own thread and ditched the very slow weather.com for
 another data source. As it stands it would be difficult to use what I have
 now and make it work for everybody though.

 What would be great is to enhance what you have wrote to allow for
 different
 data sources. It would have to allow for the fact that different sources
 may
 have different amounts of weather data available. MythWeather would become
 a
 dumb frontend to the weather grabbers that just displays the pages of
 information
 given to it by the grabber. All of the intelligence would be in the
 grabbers which
 could all have there own ui.xml files to display the weather data
 available to it.
