Comment(by anonymous):

 The info that mythweb used to get at
 "http://www.msnbc.com/m/chnk/d/weather_d_src.asp?acid=" + locale" is now
 available at "http://weather.msn.com/local.aspx?wealocations=wc:" +
 locale" using the same location codes. I think the weather descriptions
 and icons are the same as msnbc was using, because it turning out that
 it's not to dificult to write a new parsing routine in the weather.cpp
 file(-I LOVE OPEN SCOURCE :)-). I currently have a working
 libmythweather.so file that is only missing the extended forecast info and
 a little bit of tomorrows forecast. I tested it with a couple of different
 location settings and everything seems to work good, even worked with a
 Great Britton location, although my one hardcoded peice of info(contry
 code variable) shows up when its not supposed to on non USA locations but
 doesn't affect the workings. As soon as I have more time I will post a
 link to a new libmythweather.so file.

 P.S. This will have NO affect on the mythweb weather module as far as I
 know. But it looks like some people have already started that fix. :)
