Ack! I love this, so lightweight. I don't mean to do a pony request here, but can anyone think of an easy way to get this into a garden-variety windows 7 desktop, like through a rainmeter script or news ticker?
Not what you asked, but Win7 has a desktop weather gadget.
More along the lines that you asked ...
- Install cygwin and run it in a bash terminal there. Probably some tweaking required, may or may not work. cygwin's minterm does display unicode.
- Translate it into python and run it from a dos terminal (or from cygwin). I don't think the regular cmd.exe or powershell will display unicode (I could be wrong), but a replacement like conemu does (just checked). If you like this weather thing you'll like conemu better anyway.
