Add weather description for that day (e.g. 'showery')

@kasramp Hi I have some good ideas for showing the day's description,when you have done with those classifications let me know it and i will start my work.
@pywill - great. I have replaced weather condition with weather description which is much more intuitive. Let me know your idea and how do you want to proceed with it. For that I keep the issue open.
@kasramp Hi if you like, you can close this issue , i will work in my idea and make a pull request so you can check it. It´s not too much , just a function that shows an ubuntu notification every time get_weather is called and tells to users the descritpion of the day and shows its icon.
@kasramp Also i have a question, how the program knows wath is the path to the icon in indicator-weather script?
@pywill - ok thanks. Just a side note, it is good to show notification if the weather condition/description has changed. Otherwise, I don't think so displaying weather description would be useful every 15 minutes (every 15 minutes, get_weather method is get called).
The icon path is under /usr/share/icons/ but the icon is changed based on theme, that's why you do not need to give full path or relative path. Just use icon names that are located under /usr/share/icons and the program automatically picks up.
This is the list of icon names for weather:
"weather-clear", "weather-clear-night", "weather-few-clouds", "weather-few-clouds-night", "weather-clouds", "weather-clouds-night", "weather-overcast", "weather-showers", "weather-showers-scattered", "weather-storm", "weather-snow", "weather-fog"
