Add AccuWeather as an additional weather service #154

Thank you for your great work.
I suggest adding AccWeather as an additional weather service, it is much more 
accurate than Yahoo! weather.

Not only AccuWeather. I would like to be able to use gismeteo, so basically 
weather source should be selectable.

Yes, for the love of God, please use anything other than Yahoo. I'm in one of 
the largest (one or two) cities in the U.S. and the Yahoo weather is almost 
never right. It's off normally by at least 5 degrees and sometimes as much as 
20 degress. I check it against other sources and they all more or less agree 
with each other, but Yahoo is more often than not wrong. I've discussed this 
with other people in the area and they all concur that Yahoo is terrible.

At least if there was a choice of service it would be an improvement (since one 
can imagine some services are better in some areas than others).

I looked around and it seems like Google has a free weather api. For the U.S. 
the Natioanl Weather Service (NOAA) has a free api. Weatherbug and World 
Weather Online also. There's openweathermap that's even open source. It seems 
like there are lots of options.

Here's a list of weather services:

Please, please, please dump Yahoo. Once a service has been wrong as much as 
Yahoo, it's useless, since when I look at it I have no idea whether it happens 
to be right this time or not.

Yahoo = shit. Accuweather is the best weather service imo. Most accurate real 
feels etc, hourly weather with real feel data per hour.
