It's pretty nice. I started playing around with it yesterday and already have
METAR information displayed on my homepage from 4 local airports. There's even
a script for populating a database with location information.

My code is *very* rough around the edges; I'd be embarassed to have it viewed in
public, but it works and is using the Services_Weather code.

I plan to try to integrate it into my horde portal page, and will gladly send
any patches when available, but a lot of the horde code is over my head (I'm
far from an "advanced" programmer, and new to php), so it will probably take a
while. I encourage anyone familiar with the horde code to look at
Services_Weather; if I can use it, anybody can!
