Here's my function, to easily convert your Google API code to MSN API:

function skycode2image ($skycode)
{

$skycodes = array ( 
0 => 'thunderstorm', 
1 => 'thunderstorm',
2 => 'thunderstorm',
3 => 'thunderstorm',
4 => 'thunderstorm',
5 => 'rain_snow',
6 => 'sleet',
7 => 'rain_snow',
8 => 'icy',
9 => 'icy',  
10 => 'rain_snow', 
11 => 'showers',
12 => 'rain',
13 => 'flurries',
14 => 'snow', 
15 => 'snow', 
16 => 'snow', 
17 => 'thunderstorm',
18 => 'showers',
19 => 'dust',
20 => 'fog',
21 => 'haze',
22 => 'haze',
23 => 'windy',
24 => 'windy',
25 => 'icy',
26 => 'cloudy',
27 => 'mostly_cloudy',
28 => 'mostly_cloudy',
29 => 'partly_cloudy', 
30 => 'partly_cloudy',
31 => 'sunny',
32 => 'sunny',
33 => 'mostly_sunny',
34 => 'mostly_sunny',
35 => 'thunderstorm',
36 => 'hot',
37 => 'chance_of_tstorm',
38 => 'chance_of_tstorm', 
39 => 'chance_of_rain',
40 => 'showers',
41 - 'chance_of_snow',  
42 => 'snow',
43 => 'snow',
44 => 'na',
45 => 'chance_of_rain',
46 => 'chance_of_snow',
47 => 'chance_of_tstorm');

$condition =  $skycodes[$skycode];

if (in_array($skycode,array(27,29,31,33,31,45,46,47))) $daynight = 'night';
if (in_array($skycode,array(28,30,32,34,36,37,38,39,41))) $daynight = 'day';   

return array($condition,$daynight);

}
