Is there any nice weather software?

Along with the suggestions of Weather Pulse, I also like Weather
Watcher from http://www.singerscreations.com . One problem I've run
into, however, is that it didn't seem to work properly on Windows XP.
I find it works better than Weather Pulse on Windows 2000, though, so
you might want to download both of them and give them both a try.
After all, you can download both of them, and both combined they weigh
in at less than a meg.
 
I like it too but I hate the fact that it won't remember its settings.

For the state, I want KS and it always defaults to AL. Small thing but
could be better. Also the one I used to use showed the days' hi and low.

I have talked with Mike Singer - the "Cleartype" function messes
up Weather Watcher. If you can stand to turn it off, WW may work
a lot better for you.

Ahh, I see. I'm on Windows 2000 for now, but if/when I switch back to
XP I'll be sure to remember that. Thanks! :)

Is there a way to configure weather pulse to show data in metric
system?
Click to expand...

Yes...haven't tried this personally, though:

From http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail.php3?fid=1046394330 :

Metric can be displayed as follows. In Weather Pulse, go to
weather.com, from the link at the bottom of the forecast page or the 10
day forecast page. Once there, scroll down past the 10 day forecast
section. At the bottom the 10 day forecast are two radio buttons for
English units or Metric Units Click on the Metric Units radio button.
When you return to Weather Pulse, you selection will be displayed. If
the cookie gets deleted, it will go back to US measurements, so don't
let a cookie manager delete the cookie or you will have to do it all
over again..

WW doesn't release the resources it used on my win98 when
closed, and if initialized again doesn't reutilize the resources
it already claimed. Instead it claims more that it doesn't
relaese on close. Leading to ... you guessed it, re-boot.

You might want to try a memory tool such as RAM Idle which frees up
memory, that way you don't have to reboot.

Thanks, but ram and resources are two different things.
Resources can only be freed by re-booting in win98.

Care to elaborate? The only "resources" I'm aware of that
need to be
"freed up" are memory, which can be video or system. If you
mean video
memory, then I don't know of any app to free it up (and I
wish I did!) but if you mean system memory, then RAM Idle
would free up that for you.

I learned about this years ago, so I can't elaborate off-hand.
