$(function () {
    // Specify the woeid code and units (f or c)
    //woeid list https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/6942
    var loc = '2295402';
    var u = 'c';

    var query = "SELECT item.condition FROM weather.forecast WHERE woeid='" + loc + "' AND u='" + u + "'";
    var cacheBuster = Math.floor((new Date().getTime()) / 1200 / 1000);
    var url = 'http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=' + encodeURIComponent(query) + '&format=json&_nocache=' + cacheBuster;

    window['wxCallback'] = function (data) {
        var info = data.query.results.channel.item.condition;
        $('#wxIcon').css({
            backgroundPosition: '-' + (61 * info.code) + 'px 0'
        }).attr({
            title: info.text
        });
        $('#wxIcon2').append('<img src="http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/we/52/' + info.code + '.gif" width="34" height="34" title="' + info.text + '" />');
        $('#wxTemp').html(info.temp + '&deg;' + (u.toUpperCase()));
    };

    $.ajax({
