I do like your Widget setup, however I simply modified mine (for people who do not happen to be in the United States) to use it on their forums and provided clear instructions on how to configure it for where ever on the planet they happen to be.

If you would care to expand on your module and include other countries and provide a bit of information on how to get it working in countries other than the U.S. perhaps your comment would be more well received.

There are many bit's of code here, and many of them provide similar functionality.
Read further down. It does the same thing as your's, using Weather Channel's region codes.

For instance, here's Munich:

Instead of a zip code, you need to go to www.weather.com and search for your city/country. It will return a URL like:
http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Munich+Germany+GMXX0087?x=0&y=0

GMXX0087 is the code you need to put in your user profile field which this widget is referencing. Probably not the easiest way to do this, but it works.

If you have a specific country in mind, I can see what I can do.
It's the first two posts. I didn't figure I needed to explain any further than that.
