Currently I am using the lat and long to get the data but that requires 3 queries. If we were using the grid data (weather station code, an x, and y) that would cut out one API call. This would also be a good time to do some thinking on how the location data gets input into the system (do we allow arbitrary lat longs/grid points? If so how are they received and do we store them? If not, how are are they statically stored? Should probably be a config file).
