Apple’s Weather Dashboard Widget Won’t Go Below 28F?

18 Feb 2006 in Dashboard Widgets, Minneapolis, Winter by Garrick

As you might have heard, we finally got winter here in the upper Midwest. Not the Christmas-fluffy-white-snow-perfect-for-skiing-and-hot-cocoa-winter, the death-to-all-who-venture-out-of-doors winter.

Both weather.com and accuweather.com say it’s a brisk -2°F (one degree lower since my last post).

Strangely, Apple’s Weather Dashboard Widget tells me it’s a tropical 28°F and snowing. It’s way too cold to snow and hasn’t been 28 for days. Something’s not right.

I should have found Daring Fireball’s Weather Widget Location Validation post earlier. Looks like I’ve been getting Minneapolis, North Carolina’s forecast for months now.

I’m glad someone’s getting a fluffy-white-snow winter.

Huh? Mine is working just fine, although I’m finding Dashboard to be a real RAM hog on my G4.

My Dashboard was broken for a while until I discovered “Washington D.C.” is now supposed to be “Washington DC”.

The Dashboard also spells Thiland capital of Bangkok as Bankok.
