Mini Location Maps

The "My Location" screen and any other location screen in OpenSnow now feature contextualized weather maps based on the current conditions at that location. These "mini maps" will populate with animated radar if precipitation is in the forecast, nearby weather stations, fire maps if we detect smoke in the forecast, and much more.
