Weatherbar updates, brings better weather info to your Windows 7 taskbar
It's only been a couple of weeks since I first wrote about weatherbar. The slick, free program integrates weather information into your Windows 7 taskbar (or Superbar, depending on how geeky you are).
It looks like weatherbar's author took some of our commenter suggestions to heart in version 2 which is now available for download. What's new? You can now choose to display temperatures in either Celsius of Fahrenheit and specify an update interval in minutes. The main window has also been re-worked and current wind speed and direction is displayed with the current conditions.
There is one important UI bug at the moment (a fix is coming soon): when you pin the app to your taskbar, the weather icon doesn't update properly. Leave it unpinned and you'll get the correct display.

I prefer Weatherbug. Its also free although you do have to put up with advertisements (unless you want the paid version). Mine is pined to the taskbar showing current temperature (can be set to celsius or fahrenheit). Also provides severe weather warnings (can be set in preferences).

There's apparently a version 2.1 already: http://weatherbar.codeplex.com/releases/view/42601
It still doesn't pin properly.

I had the release candidate and wasn't aware of any weather program beside the one that came as a widget. That program only seemed to be accurate within the hour.

Sounds about right. I should know I'm a pegger.
