    Conky weather scripts using Accuweather/WUnderground/NWS/Weather.com

    (FINAL) ANNOUNCEMENT:

    All scripts moved to the Arch Linux Forums:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139962
    No further support for them will be provided in this thread, at least not from me.
    Thank you all for your support and hope to meet you again in the blue forums.
    Farewell...

    EDIT:
    Did you manage to get it horizontal?

    The rss command couldn't temporarily get any answer from accuweather.
    This happens whenever the site is too busy or whenever your connection is too busy (i.e. torrents, mail, heavy surfing, etc.).
    Don't worry, it will come after a while.

    I think I wait whit the weather-function for a while and look more into the local information on the computer first.

    Minor update in the wunderground-script.sh file.
    Apparently, Weather Underground has a weather message (Thunderstorm) which doesn't appear in their wunderwiki site
    (http://wiki.wunderground.com/index.php/API_-_XML - see forecast condition phrases).
    As a result, whenever the forecast showed Thunderstorm as a message, you ended up with a N/A symbol.
    Corrected now, just replace the old wunderground-script.sh file with the new one.
