Error check weather request #20

Fixes #19

nickbroon commented 5 years ago

24 hours running with this change and I've not seen a traceback as result of request.get() intermittently failing.

Thank you for taking the time to raise this as PR, it's much appreciated! And sorry for leaving it dangling.

I made a minor adjustment to catch only RequestsError since the non-explicit try/catch was trapping errors related to a missing python-lxml. Confused me for a moment there!

But otherwise great. Thanks again!
