Bug Description

-------------- SRU Justification ---------------
[Impact]
'Flurries' condition is recognized as 'Unknown'.

[Test Case]
1) Find a city, which has flurries today or in forecast (simply by googling 'flurries weather city')
2) Add this city in Weather Indicator
3) View current condition and/or forecast for this city
Result: flurries condition is recognized as known - has correct 'snow' icon and translated label.

[Regression Potential]
This is a one line patch simply adding another entry in the list of conditions. There is very little regression potential.

---

The indicator shows a gray circle with a white cloud with a question mark inside it (some default icon) at all times , except when it's refreshing . The city I've set it to is Sofia/Bulgaria . I'll check some more cities and report if there's any change .

PS:Berlin seems ok
   Moscaw also (thow it shows up only in yahoo source)
   Plovdiv (also in Bulgaria) shows ok , so it's something specifically about Sofia I guess

Yep , tried 2-3 more and everithing's ok except Sofia .

PS2: I guess it's specific only for the Light snow condition (and/or other snow) , because now it chaneged to mostly cloudy and it's ok .

I debugged this tonight and then finally fixed it. During the time I was playing with it, it stopped the Flurries where I live and I had to use a weather map and pick a different city. From what I can guess, Google only returns "flurries" and not "snowflurries" as in the table. I cannot prove this and it should be harmless to leave "snowflurries", so I just added a flurries entry.

Patch attached.

This bug was fixed in the package indicator-weather - 12.07.30-0ubuntu1

---------------
indicator-weather (12.07.30-0ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
   - If Earthtools.org is down, report 'Unknown' rather than
     blocking on sunset and sunrise times (LP: #964365).
   - Correctly preform .pid file matching so we can restart after
     a crash (LP: #926433).
   - Fixed flurries condition being marked as 'Unknown' (LP: #928596).
   - Km in the units tab now written in full as kilometres (LP: #952661).
  * debian/control: Bump standards version to 3.9.3, no changes needed.
  * debian/postinst: Don't manually install or compile gschema. Distutils.Extras
    now installs it correctly and an apt trigger compiles it.

Apparently I picked the wrong day to test this one as I couldn't find any place where google was reporting flurries...

Anyway, I cheated a bit and gave the expected input to the script which in turn set the right icon, so between that test and the pretty obvious change that was done, I think it's good enough to get into -updates.
