Google shutdown their weather API?

It's OK HN, I got this.

- Bad Google! Bad Google. On another note, here's a link to my totally unrelated startup.

- These guys are idiots for depending on someone else for their data. They should be out there building a nationwide - hell, worldwide - array of weather stations. It's the lack of ambition that gets me. On another note, here's a link to my totally unrelated startup.

- These guys are idiots for building a service around an unsupported API even throught it was fun, useful and there are many viable alternatives out there. On another note, here's a link to my totally unrelated startup.

- This is really bad. On another note, here's a link to my totally unrelated startup.

- I blame Apple for this. On another note, here's a link to my totally unrelated startup.

- I will now tell an irrelevant, self-absorbed anecdote about how I left school early, didn't go to college, got funded, ran my company into the ground, flipped and am now working on my next startup. On another note, here's a link to my totally unrelated startup.

I found this weather script that behaves much better than the discontinued by Google. I hope it helps. http://www.freeweatherforecasts.com/

AFAIK it was an unofficial API, discovered,through some hack on iGoogle, so despite all the tutorials on the web, basing any service on top of it was a risky business
