Bjoern,
Will that work with sensors?

David,
Sensors have been deprecated for years now.  People have been having issues
with GoodWeather for a while for that reason.  If you're interested, you
could try writing a weather control (replacement for sensors).  I was
thinking about writing one based on Yahoo weather [1], but if weather.com
provides an XML feed that might work too.
