I miss the old WeatherSpark visualization of past conditions and the future forecast.

They had a wonderful graph of various weather parameters in a nice slippy zoom interface that made it easy to visualize the forecast. It was built in Flash and they decided that a HTML version wasn't viable due to declining ad revenue.

Some appreciation and screenshots of the old version:
