I should probably point out that gkrellm's weather gizmo fetches that info from the net site it is configured to get it from, in my case the north central regional airport server 20 miles NE of me, at 15 minute intervals. And it does so simply by my entering the "call letters" of the airport, in my case KCKB in the config screen. That hasn't changed in decades. And that locks out any lockin that other commercial services try to do so they can charge yti for the service. If I hover the mouse over the temp display, I get a full report, same as the pilots do, as a popup. Whats not to like?
