The Weather Widget will calculate the nearest METAR to your zipccode
so for example if I put in my hometown zipcode 04955 the weather
report will ccome from the nearest METAR station which is Waterville,
Maine some 30 miles from my home.
This can sometimes be a tricky thing as you may want to put in the
zip-code for another city which, while father from you, may have a
more accurate METAR report for your area.

So is it safe to say that the Weather Widgets take the zip code
from the nearest, major city in your area? For example, the zip
code in my area is 99508, which encompasses the Anchorage and
surrounding area. In the case of Anchorage, we have two, offficial
weather reporting stations--Ted Stevens International Airport, and
Merril Field, which is just fifteen minutes from my area of town. I
live near Elmendorf Air Force Base. Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage,
