10.4: Some extra features in the Weather widget
The only issue is in the Z-ordering of the elements. Some of the weather image PNGs are so wide that they seem to cover the entire cityname, and make it impossible to click "behind" the image. So make sure you move your mouse all the way to the first couple letters of the city's name.

You can hold Command and Alt and click on the weather icon, to get to a place called nowhere. From there, you can see all the weather icons.

if in doubt as to which city location you are actually connecting with press enter after typing it and you will see a pop up list of locations. There are a LOT of Londons!

Just turns out that Accuweather is VERY inaccurate for my location! (The Hague, Netherlands)
Still digging to see if I can use another server, but as far as I can see Apple and Accuweather set up a special server for the weather widget... :(

You also can shift-click the graphic to slow down the expand/collapse animation just like you can do with the min/max window sizing in the dock
