The result is weather.itsnotallwork.com.

The sites don’t have anything so useful as data feeds, so this employs a bit of hackery. First of all I get the page contents via my own web server. I then display them using jQuery – targeting the DOM node that I’m interested in.

NOTE: This works for me in Firefox, Safari and Chrome. I have no idea about IE as I don’t use it, and I built this site for me really! I suspect it does work though.
