Hello, all.Â* I'd been using (albeit Russian) a Win7 gadget

connect to weather.com, accuweather.com, weatherunderground.com or

an alternate Win7 desktop gadget/widget that works?Â* Thanks for your
time and comment.



If you can stream your local radio (or TV) you can probably get to their
weather forecast page, which will be at least as good as a weather
widget for local forecasts and may be better.


Thanks for the quick reply, but to be clear, I'm not seeking
alternatives to desktop gadgets/widgets. There's lots of places to get
local weather reports on the web; I liked the convenience of having an
auto-updating small display on my Win7 desktop with current temp,
humidity, wind speed, etc. Sincerely,
