Works well - Small and simple (1/30/2008)
Works great for me. One of the users before complained it was difficult to set the city. Under options, type in a zip code, click the magnifying glass (to search) and then click on the link to your city. Its not all that intuitive, but you only need to set it once.

Hate it
I wouldn't trust the readings from this so called AccuWeather (11/12/2007)
Well as far as I know from the readings I get from South Australia, it displayed that the current temp was 27 Celsius, when according to the bureau of meteorology (a highly reliable source) says it is 34 Celsius. I find this 7 degrees of inaccuracy rather poor... and would not use this as a result.

Why does anyone use this? (12/9/2008)
AccuWeather seems to give me better info than some, but this gadget stinks! Click the right place you get an extended forecast... click the wrong spot, heaven help ya! This just seems poorly written, there are NO options (outside of setting your location). ProWeather gadget is better.... sorry...

I like it....but... (11/5/2007)
I really like the interface, ALOT! BUT, it doesn't seem to update too oftain, I had to update it manually to see a change, for instance, it was 8pm EST and it still showed it as sunny and 80 degrees. It was dark and about 65 degrees, so I reset it and it chnaged. I shouldn't have to chage it, it should refresh faster!

Not much eye candy (8/12/2007)
This is not nearly as nice looking as the default Vista Weather Gadget and it does not add much functionality. No thanks for me.
