Weather service being used is retried?

In the sample env it says that the MSN weather service is being used to get weather data. However, Microsoft claims the service was retired last year. Upon going to that service URL as well nothing is returned.

An issue is already open upstream with weather-js about this. So not sure if the weather data is actually working as intended still or if that stuff should be refactored/removed.

It still definitely works for me for locations and some zip codes (and I've checked that the response makes sense), but I'll look into a different weather service when i get a chance

Looking around some Yahoo provides an API. There are some packages available for that. However, with the way Yahoo is going I'm not sure if that can be safely relied on even in the medium-term.

I think the open weather API might be a decent choice for the longer-haul. But it means asking that users get another API key to get it working.

I've heard about Forecast.io in the past, which has apparently been acquired/merged/something by Dark Sky, which I've also heard good things about, recently. Unfortunately Dark Sky is only free for the first 1k/day calls. They seem to be a small team, and are apparently rather philanthropic. Maybe they'd consider the open-source nature and mutual target audience of this and nix the fee. Long shot... but hey, at least there's another option to explore if need be. I wouldn't sweat it for now though, if things are working.

Phenomenal work! :)
