Yup. But I wouldn't worry about it. Just let the user pick the closest
city. They can usually figure it out anyway.
This is what GWeather does. You just pick the state and then the
closest city.

hm... that would be cool. Just keep this API public and usable so that
other Jetspeed code can use the Weather stuff. I would recommend using
the Daemon facility to schedule this and then provide a singleton.
