R Package is on CRAN under the name "RFc"

Here's a list of what they have available (note that the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis has 4x daily data going back to 1948 for temp and precip; prate is short for "precipitation rate").

Joan and I played with it a bit today, and the API seems very good (it's from Microsoft Research).

Example script I used:

x = fcTimeSeriesDaily("airt", latitude = c(35, 36), longitude = c(-117, -118), firstYear = 1989)

Nice!

Another option for weather data is daymet.
And a big advantage to either of these is being able to include all the Canada sites.

Next time... perhaps.
