[olug] Replacing the Weather Bug

[Craig Wolf]

I will have to second that vote for forecastfox.  I use it on all my
machines and every customer I have shown it to love it.  Easy to install
and run.  8)

It's not a separate app, but I'm a HUGE fan of ForcastFox w/i Firefox.
Profiles for each area you want to watch, radar thumbnail, verbose tool

tip w/ as much info as you want to add.

Newest version is supposed to ROTATE profiles so you can watch more
than 
one area.
