Weather Feeds
Information
This site offers XML weather information feeds for cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This data is gathered from The National Weather Service's internet data source at
Weather.GOV. Thanks, Uncle Sam!
The format of the data should be self-evident. Suggestions and criticisms to
xml@boygenius.com.
This data is offered without any warranty whatsoever.

ToDo
ToNotDo
These are suggestions that I've already decided to leave for other people.
- Allow people to look up their local weather via a form, by zip code or city and state. The NOAA, Weather.COM, and a bunch of other sites already do this, and I don't think there's a need for another site that has this function. If you want to do it on your site, you'll need these feeds, a city/state to zip to lat/long association database, and a book on great circle arithmetic. Go to town.

You're probably wondering where all the XML files are. They're
