Bug Description
At the moment, on a default set up where the user has no locations added, we show a blank page with absolutely nothing except for the bottom edge. This can be alarming to a new user. We should strive to solve this either by,
- Adding a default city (could be London, New York, Barcelona etc)
- Show a welcome wizard like the music app inviting the user to add a location
- Detect the user's location automatically and add it. However here if the user chooses to decline weather app access to his location, then we might need to backup to the first or second solution.
This definitely needs opinion from the design team.

I think the 3rd option to auto-detect the user's location is necessary. IIRC the design spec has a Current Location entry amongst the user-add locations. If, however, the user declines access to location data I think a simple graphic like the clock app's empty alarm state should be sufficient. A walkthrough/welcome wizard might be excessive.
