Do I need an Umbrella?

Description

"Do I need an Umbrella?"

A Rainmeter weather skin (version 2.0)

Enter your ZIP code, and the skin will tell you if you need to carry an umbrella. For those who want a bare essentials forecast. :) No code magic here; this skin just parses the info from the excellent website doineedanumbrellaDOTcom: [link]

:bulletred: US ONLY :bulletred:
Sorry, the website works with US ZIP codes only. :(

Instructions:
:bulletblue: Right-click on the skin and use the context menu entries to switch between light and dark versions, and between left and right orientations.
:bulletblue: Click the location text to enter your ZIP code. (You can also try city names like on the website, but ZIP codes seem more sure-fire.)
:bulletblue: Mouseover "YES" or "NO" to see a tooltip with some additional weather information.
:bulletblue: If for any reason the context menu options, clicking the location, etc. are not working, all those options can be changed manually in the [Variables] section of the skin file

:bulletgreen: Umbrella Icon is from the Token icon set by brsev [link]

Changelog:
(Version 2 | 25 January 2013)
:bulletpurple: Updated the skin to work with the new version of doineedanumbrella.com
:bulletpurple: Added an option to change the skin to be right-justified
:bulletpurple: Appearance options use the new ContextTitle/ContextAction feature from Rainmeter 2.4
:bulletpurple: Default font is now Corbel, but the font can be changes in the [Variables] section of the skin file

Is there a way to configure this skin to show/hide another skin based on the yes/no value? I'm pretty new to this and I would like to configure the skin to show a rain skin when the rain value is "yes"
