Great software! I try also other weather software, but this one I really like...

Had a program called "Free Weather" on my poor old Pentium 3 computer running Windows 95, and liked it so much that I transfered it over to my wonderful new dual core computer running Windows XP, where, during some upgrade, XP ate it.
Searched all over the web and couldn't find a download of "Free Weather" although there is a Free Weather site with the same graphics. Had very frustrating search for a free weather program with a tray icon, severe weather alerts, and nationwide reporting stations. Finally found Weather Watcher.
Except for the stylized moon phase graphics Weather Watcher otherwise has everything that Free Weather had and more. The ease of adding and changing active stations is particularly helpful for a frequent traveler, and the tooltip is handy, although sometimes doesn't show all the info I've checked in options - and Weather Watcher even has has reporting stations for back of beyond locations.
Very much worth downloading or even supporting with a donation.

I would rate this great program a solid 5, but since the creation of weather watcher live, why use this? You get real time weather & it is from the exact same author as this software. The live version is merged with weatherbug, but there are no ad-ware or do they offer you useless add-on's when installing the live version.
