Seemed to work last night, but not when I came home from work today.
Menu icon is just the gray question mark and the drop down is distorted by the Wind field (which seems to have a lot of space in it). No forecast for the coming days, either.

Developer should just abandon weather.com and use wunderground.com instead
I agree, I believe that adding NOAA to the mix would also be helpful, it works great with AniWeather, the Mozilla extension for Firefox, Flock, SeaMonkey.

Sigh… I've been using WeatherDock (unlike it's name implies it can be a Menu item only) ever since Meteoroligist originally stopped working. It is missing features that I dearly love (e.g., radar and multiple locations at once) but its interaction with the Network and Waking from Sleep is flawless. Meteorologist had a bad habit of quitting or locking up if the Newtowrk didn't respond immediately. Sigh…
I'd love to see a version of Meteorologist that does what it does so well but is more stable.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz

Today, 9 March 2010, my Meteo has once again died! :-( Nothing changed that I'm aware of, but suddenly the app can not refresh on any of the cities on my list. I tried adding a new city but it does not refresh, either. All I shows is the '?' icon and the city name in my menu bar…. Any thoughts?

Yes, but that is decidedly non-trivial to implement. Multiple data sources would be nice to have again, but as I recall, it was extremely painful to maintain. Imagine getting threads like this for not just one datasource, but several - especially when I'm sure not all weather sites have the exact same data available. You also have to be careful that the data source handles non-US cities just as well as weather.com; this was also a problem back when Meteo supported multiple data feeds.

The point here is, who gives a crap about Dew point, Humidity, Pressure and wind. I'll trade all that relatively non essential useless info for the temperature, any day of the week..

I give a crap. Humidity is important for those with asthma or other breathing difficulties because higher humidity coupled with high temperature can make it stressful physically to venture outside. When I'm sitting home and there's a few good gusts of wind that make everything creak, I like to click and see what speeds are being measured. Pressure is useful for monitoring because when it begins dropping that tends to mean a front is moving through, and that can mean precipitation. Some people are also sensitive to swings in the pressure so it's nice to have that data available.

Me, too (or three or four or seven).

Mee too in Spain
Dittos in SC.

I'm out too, NJ, US.
Seems it's picking up the data but not the icons.

Whatever the problem is with The Weather Channel, it is affecting the add-on for FireFox too. all you get there is radar.
As I typed the last reply and sent it suddenly some of the missing items in the Weather Channel appeared but no extended weather
Me too, and I/m away from my home town, out in Arizona now.
Same problem here in CA. This is exactly what happened to the most recent "old" version. If not fixed soon, I will return WeatherDock again.
Howdy,

Cincinnati…I get the current conditions but all icons only shows ? the extended is not showing anything.

Looks like weather.com moved things around once again.
The radar still work, dew point, pressure, humidity and wind also work.
Temperatures and extended forecasts are the only thing that do not work at the moment.
Most likely it will only need a minor code tweak to work again.
