I couldn't get this to work for me.
It used to give me Atlanta weather, but now it gives me Cupertino
weather. Atlanta is a *whole lot* closer. :) I'm in Delaware. Will
try again.
Anyway you know of to copy the code in the plist viewer when it shows
the source for the widget? I thought maybe I could just turn this
into a stand-alone program I could toss in my dock. Easier for me
than dashboard. Less keystrokes anyhow. since dashboard topens to
the last app you had running, and for me that's usually the
calculator or widget tv. (which is a pain to navigate to channels,
but it works) Would be nice if I could label the links though. Any
suggestions?

Dude, where did you learn this neat trick?

There is a way you can do this from the terminal if you like.
From a terminal window type:
open -a /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app
"dashboard-widget:new=com.apple.widget.weather?location=93401"
Location is the zip code. You can also do open= instead of
new=. New
always creates a new widget, open will retarget a widget if it
already
exists.
Hope this helps,
