Comment(by dbackeberg at gmail.com):

 Yes please, I'd love to see a screenshot :)
 The changeable animation rate sounds great.
 Thanks so much for your work on this.

 Replying to [ticket:3834 Joe Ripley <vitaminjoe at gmail.com>]:
 > This patch can be applied to the current SVN trunk of mythweb (release
 14200).  It patches the module to use the new MythWeather plugin as a data
 source.  The patch itself is just a quick hack, and only applies to the
 default template, not the lite.  The functions of the MythWeather plugin
 that I implemented are:
 >
 > {{{
 > Current Conditions
 > 3 Day Forecast
 > 6 Day Forecast
 > 18 Hour Forecast
 > Animated Maps
 > }}}
 >
 > I don't use the Static Maps or the Severe Weather Alerts, so I haven't
 written them yet.  The Animated Maps appear in MythWeb as animated JPEG
 images.  I accomplished this by using JavaScript to control the pictures.
 It allows you to speed up/slow down the animation.  I based the JavaScript
 code from the code used on the Environment Canada website.  Seems to work
 well.
 >
 > The weather module stores its cached weather data in the 'cache_dir'
 directory, so this must exist and be writable by the HTTP daemon for the
 module to work.
 >
 > I can post a screen shot of the module in action if anyone wants to see
 it.
