We use this to turn on or not turn on our sprinklers at home via
a serial i/o board:

# test weather.com; if we find 'rain' or 'showers' in the forecast for today,
# we exit.
if (`/usr/local/scripts/GET http://www.weather.com/weather/local/92101|perl -pe
's/<.+?>//g;' |grep -B 1 "Feels Like"|head -1|grep -i 'rain|showers'` ne '') {
        exit;
}

It seems that weather.com is down at the moment, tho...
