Just go to weather.com looking for your city code(LocationCode) and you will need to edit "Variables.inc" as well,especially the "Link","Link3" and "Lang=" parameters.

This is going to have to be done in a couple of steps.

1) Someone needs to fully parse the weather.com website, or maybe some other website, wringing every last bit of useful information out of it. This needs to be documented, so others can make use of it.

2) Existing weather skins, almost all of which use(d) wxdata for input, will have to be radically modified to make use of this new approach to getting information. This is something the skin author is likely going to have to step up and do, as the majority of users will really struggle trying to make these changes themselves. Some folks will for their own use of course, but we shouldn't have a boatload of variants of skins like VClouds or whatever floating around that are not supported by the original author.
