I like the new weather sidebar gadget; but I do wish that when you pull it
off of the sidebar you could adjust the size....

....my question is how often is the weather updated?
 
I don't know how often it updates, but it seems to update often enough.
Everytime I look it is different and the temperature given is usually very
consistent to the thermometer I have at home.

I especially like how its background image changes from night to day, sun to
moon.
 
I took at look at the java script and found the place to edit it to change
the update rate, but its all locked out with Vista's new admin blocking
thing. :(
 
There is a default refresh interval whihc is, I beleive, set to 60 minutes.
However, a value is received from the datasource that overrides this value so
a data provider could theoretically provide more or less frequent updates.
(which may be useful if, say, a hurricane was bearing down on you).
