Hello, all.Â* I'd been using (albeit Russian) a Win7 gadget
"WeatherCenter" for several years without a hitch until about a month
or so ago.Â* I'd been getting weather updates from
"theweathernetwork.com" but the gadget can also be configured to
connect to weather.com, accuweather.com, weatherunderground.com or
weatherbug.com.Â* The gadget is now unable to establish connection with
any of these sites and it doesn't appear to be a firewall issue on my
end.Â* Does anyone know how to get this gadget working again or know of
an alternate Win7 desktop gadget/widget that works?Â* Thanks for your
time and comment.


Just curious, did you check the Win 7,8,10 Gadget Site?

http://win7gadgets.com/weather/

I've been using the Main Weather one for a few years and it's still
working.


Thanks for your reply and those from others to my OP. I did try
installing several (other than "WeatherCenter") of the Wx gadgets at
that URL you provided but they failed to connect to whatever site was
being used to provide the Wx data. Now, for some unknown reason my
favorite "Russian" Wx gadget that I'd been using for several years,
"WeatherCenter", is getting data again (currently from "The Weather
Network") as of this moning, 1/1/19. For how long, who knows?
