We will need to figure out some way of converting from CITY, STATE to LATITUDE,LONGITUDE, aka some sort of geocoding service.
Railscasts describes one option

Possibly. May want to keep things simple and have the user input a zip
code. Eg my area code is tx but I'm not worried about tx weather...

freegeoip is another option, google's api has some interesting restrictions. it is actually possible to configure the rubygeocode gem mentioned above to use freegeoip, something to look into.

the weatherunderground api offers full geocoding, although the free option is a little more restrictive.
