Great extension.
The reason it doesn't pull data is because Environment Canada changed their domain from "www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/" to "weather.gc.ca/". In order to fix it, you need to change a few lines of code that refer to the old link to the new link. Then, it works. Very cool!
I was so excited to find an extension specifically for Canadian weather! Turns out (after setting it up how I like it, including picking colours) it doesn't work. Huge bummer.
Looks like it will not pull data anymore. Was kind of nice but is now deprecated.
