Williams whipped out a trusty #2 pencil and scribbled:KDE has a nice little weather thing you can add to the panel (right click to get started). i used for a while last night - for some reason i had the urge to use KDE for a while. i do like the Gnome Weather applet when i'm in Gnome (most of the time) though.

Thanks! I did find that and it works. Though a bit disappointing that it does
not allow me to display windchill (as opposed to the what I consider useless
dewpoint).
If you are using KDE, KWeather applet does display the wind chill. There should also be a way to make LiquidWeather display it, but I don't know how.
..And if you're using GNOME, there's the Weather Report applet that's part of the panel. It uses Weather Channel data based on most (all??) of their reporting stations. For temperatures, it includes a "Feels Like" measurement, which I think is a combination of wind chill and heat index. As a private pilot, this doesn't replace a complete weather briefing for me by any stretch, but since the reporting stations include most of the airports I routinely fly to and from and it has 2-click access to a local radar map, it's a nice "quick look" applet.
