Cool!  I didn't know that your plugin could do WU as well!  That is
great news.  I guess I will switch as well.  

I looked at the new WU API call, and what it returns is totally
different.  You also have to make two calls.  One for the current
conditions and one for the forecast.  The information is also more
limited, no more almanac for example (record high/low info, etc.).  The
current temperature is returned as an integer, so no decimal temperature
either.

In short, the WU SDT Plugin will need a big rewrite in order to make it
work again.  Not sure if it is worth it if BOOMX2's version works with
WU as well.
