Yeah, we actually already have an older Owm driver in  
Horde_Service_Weather, but it, too, is outdated. I'll probably try to  
get that one at least minimally working, as well as the existing WWO  
driver, since the subscription price on that one is cheap. I was also  
looking at darksky.net as an option.
