Looks pritty (2/21/2008)
But it seems that it's only for the USA. I live in Australia and it couldn't find my post code.

How do you change it? (11/15/2007)
I must have missed something here, but my gadget only shows conditions for 'State College'. Can anyone tell me how to change it to show my local conditions?

The Triangle Button (7/31/2007)
For those who are wondering: the triangle button on this gadget flashes when there is severe weather in your area. If you click it the gadget navigates to the severe weather website for your area. Great gadget by the way :)

For non US English Vista Users (8/1/2007)
for enricM2, this is simple to fix. Most Gadgets are written for en-US languages. Press WinKey+R (Run...) type %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets and press Enter. Let's suppose this gadget's name is "AccuWeather". You should find a folder named "AccuWeather.gadget" If you see one folder or some like this "AccuWeather.~0001", delete the rest so you only leave one of them, then you must RENAME it to "AccuWeather.gadget" to comply the Gadget Standard (otherwise it won't be detected by Vista). Go inside the folder and Copy (Or Rename) the "en-US" folder with the name that matches your local Windows Vista Installation Language. If it is spanish/spain, rename it to "es-ES". Good luck

Cool gadget (2/4/2008)
Just enough information for this to be a useful gadget. I nearly didn't download it because some people commented that it couldn't find their local forecasts. Don't be deterred by those comments... I live in a hole-in-the-wall town with a population of 149 people and it found my weather no problem!

Great. (12/14/2007)
Very pretty and very handy, I like it. It shows the current weather, but if you click on the gadget, it shows the 5-day forecast. Easy to change the city (you can enter not only the zip code but the name of the city as well)
