Brilliant, *tcutting*.  Absolutely wonderful job.  Bravo for your
service to the community and thank you!

It's cool that you wrote this with no additional libraries, either. 
Makes it super-easy to install/use.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but people should be aware that there
are *two* requests made for each period.  One for "conditions" and other
for "10dayforecast" -- so, you don't want to update your wx info any
more frequently than once ever seven minutes or so, or you'll hit the
free limit of your API.  I'm currently using a forecast interval of 10
minutes with *tcutting*'s code.

Note that you can see the API data (how frequently you've invoked the
API) on the Wunderground API page.

Anyone who's interested in advancing *tcutting*'s work, in case you're
not aware, you can combine multiple requests into one as follows:


http://api.wunderground.com/api/<key>/conditions/forecast10day/q/03057.json

I've been assuming this counts as one API invocation (because it's all
done in one call) for the purposes of metering... but I'm not certain.

Now that *tcutting *has blessed us with a short-term solution that meets
many of my requirements, I'm going to chill about this for a while. 
Then I'll determine whether I help advance *tcutting*'s work to date, or
continue down my own path (which is *significantly* more disruptive to
the structure of Greg's original code).

One final time for now: Thank you *tcutting*.  Thanks for your work on
this problem, and thanks for sharing.
