def download_metar_data(clear_recycle_bin=False,
                        proxies=None):

Downloads the latest METAR Data from NOAA/AWC and returns a Pandas DataFrame.

Required Arguments: None

Optional Arguments:

1) clear_recycle_bin (Boolean) - (Default=False in WxData >= 1.2.5) (Default=True in WxData < 1.2.5). When set to True, the contents in your recycle/trash bin will be deleted with each run of the program you are calling WxData. This setting is to help preserve memory on the machine.

2) proxies (String or None) - Default=None. If the user is using proxy server(s), the user must change the following:

   proxies=None ---> proxies="http://your-proxy-address:port" ---> ds = download_metar_data(proxies=proxies)
