How do you remove the overlay? Making it blank seems to have it just list the temperature; how do you remove it completely>

Definitely my favorite widget! We had strong winds the other day, and watching the time numbers get blown around the chumby cracked me up. Love all the animations and cute little touches like this. Only thing that would make this perfect for me would be to also have the current day's hi/lo in small text somewhere on the overlay so I don't have to go to another widget to check it out when I'm getting ready for work in the morning. Thanks for all your work!

Love the widget, but one issue: I have it running with the time of "forever", and it never updates itself. I must tap the screen, then tap check for weather updates. Is there a way to make it get the weather on it's own?

Ok, went to NOAA - found 94027 for Atherton (really wanted 94025 for Menlo Park). Put that into the widget - still now weather update. Help!

This is the perfect Chumby widget. Useful information presented stylishly and with a sense of humor.

NOAA.gov does understand my address (78641, Leander TX) so perhaps it's a slow update issue. Thanks for the quick reply to my post!

XBOB, and anyone else having problems with the local zip, try plugging in your address at noaa.gov, this should give you the closest city. Hope this helps!

I get Nan for temp in the Austin, TX area (suburb). I'm looking forward to an update where I can choose the nearest city that the widget supports.

Mike, that feature is there. To enable it, you'll need to configure the widget.

You you make the temp on the screen at all times, that would be perfect!

I love this widget, but it doesn't seem to update on its own. I always have to touch the screen and ask it to update. What interval should it be doing it at?

Sorry, I could have been more clear on that address. It's chumby(at)me.com ... me = me.

Sorry...I seem to not be getting your email correct...when you write chumby(at)me(dot)com, me=McConnell, yes? It keeps failing. I have been able to get it to work with a NY ZIP code, but not my own. 91001.

dpotter, at times the NOAA seems to be slow in loading. Has the widget ever worked for you? Shoot me an email - chumby (at) me (dot) com with your zip and I'd be happy to test it on my end.

dormouse, currently I am using a NOAA feed which only doles out US weather. International weather is a on my to do list, just not sure what the time line is. In the mean time, you can try plugging in a US zip (10001 for NY, NY example) to enjoy some of the weather based happenings. Glad to hear you enjoy the original widget!

hi, I loved the original sky happenings... I don't live in the US so even though I added this new sky happenings I think I can't see it in all its glory... is there a way to add location codes from, for example, the weather channel so that we can use it in other countries? Also, is it because I haven't set a location that the sky is a plain blue at about 7pm instead of the lovely way it appears in the original widget? Thanks so much McConnell for this, I have a channel with the original one as its only widget, it's my favourite clock.

@dpotter - Before the weather and proper backgrounds load it's always clear and midnight. The load screen let's everything settle into place before revealing current conditions and time of day. With that said, I'll see if I can minimize it.

This is great...but we don't need the "title screen" before it loads...

This is excellent. In theory you could even do eclipses! I don't get tornados here in Massachusetts, so I'll never see the twister with this widget. However, I'm curious how you'll handle snow and blizzards!
