Here in the rust belt, we often jump on our PCs to check the weather before a surfing trip (yeah, we surf out on Lake Erie, believe it or not), a barbeque, or a Tribe game. After all, we only get 66 sunny days per year and we need to make every one of them count. Problem is, surfing to Accuweather.com or Weather.com forces you to sit through page loads and advertising, and hey, if you're in a hurry, that just doesn't work. Enter Meteorologist. This is a really simple, free user interface for weather.com that circumvents all the advertising and gives you a convenient consolidated weather report, forecast, and radar image all in your OS X menu bar or dock. If you don't like widgets you'll find Meteorologist indispensable. Only 26 sunny days left this year and we don't plan on wasting them.

Ohio isn't midwest. It's mideast. Waiting for that geography app eh? ;-)

Who said anything about midwest? Oh and I think most would agree that mideast is places like Iraq and Syria, not good ol' Cleveland. Thanks for the comm.

I've got Weather Alarm Clock, a free download from Respectsoft ( http://wwww.respectsoft.com ). It's a lot nicer-looking, with lots of options and features (calendar, displays temperature, weather forecast, etc.). Also displays in the system tray.
