Re: Weather not updated for two days
Hi MaryAnn,
Welcome to YoWindow.
Look at Location > Properties.
Supply us with your GeonamesID and your METAR station code.
There are 3 Woodstocks listed in YoWindow.
I just added all 3 to my Desktop.
All 3 are working.
I need to know which Woodstock before I can do any research.
Completely exit from YoWindow.
Completely clear your Internet Cache.
Press F5.
Restart YoWindow.
Is YoWindow working now?
Thank you in advance for your information.
Marty

Re: Weather not updated for two days
It seems to be working now after following your recommendation below, but Location Properties shows that it's giving me weather from Burlington, WI over 26 miles north and usually at least 15 degrees different in temperature. What are the 3 Woodstock location codes you're referring to that I could try and see if any of them are closer/more accurate. I tried Marengo, IL which is 8 miles from Woodstock, but it's location property is DeKalb some 30 miles south.....McHenry, IL about 15 miles from here uses Waukegan, IL which is near Lake Michigan and notoriously 15 - 20 degrees colder than McHenry really is. I didn't realize that the actual weather locations were so far from home!
Thanks so much for your help! I use this a lot and it's being out was

Re: Weather not updated for two days
Hi MaryAnn,
There are several states with a Woodstock.
I just needed to find out which Woodstock in what state.
Woodstock, Illinois has 4 METAR stations nearby.
They are -
KBUU - Burlington, Wisconsin (which you are presently using)
KDKB - DeKalb, Illinois
KDPA - Chicago DuPage, Illinois
KUGN - Waukegan, Illinois
I have checked a PWS near you 3 times today (Monday).
I have compared that PWS to your 4 METAR stations.
KDKB and KDPA have been closest to the temperature of that PWS.
KDPA has been the closest.
If you would like to try these out, go to Location > Properties.
Replace KBUU with KDKB or KDPA.
Let us know how this works out for you.
Thank you in advance.

Re: Weather not updated for two days
Thanks so much for your attention and explanation (sorry about not mentioning the state.) I'll switch to the DeKalb KDKB and see how that matches with my desktop Gadget (weather bug) which uses Union IL (about 8 miles from me.) The weather may have been similar yesterday for Chicago (DuPage County) KDPA, but it is more than twice as far (70 miles) away as DeKalb (30 miles) and still further south, so from experience and knowledge of my area, the weather wouldn't be at all accurate very often to where I live.
I switched to KDKB and am getting question marks at "Name" and "Distance". I've closed the application, restarted my laptop, but still getting the question marks. Not sure where the weather is coming from now. Location ID hasn't changed from Burlington. What am I doing wrong???

Hi MaryAnn,
The Location ID is the GeonamesID of Woodstock, Illinois.
So it will not change.
Ignore the question marks.
