My thoughts exactly, agreed. This is a down the road thing anyways, but it shouldn't be hard to pull the data out of something like OMWeather; I'm surprised acually that somebody hasn't just made a generic "weather data" service yet that other apps can pull the info from via dbus- calls, etc...

Thanks!
