WeatherOffice widget allows the user to reference the current weather conditions and 5-day weather report for all major Canadian cities available from Weather Canada's Weather Office web site. The weather information is updated as frequently as the widget window is opened.
What's New
Version 4.6:
Minor interface tweaks.
Now showing sunrise/sunset information
Fix to accommodate changes in original website (Newfoundland & Labrador switched from NF to NL).
Requirements
PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later.
The done button is there, but it's of to the right of the widget. The issue I have is that text no longer works, and the 7th day forecast (picture) is wrapped around and down where the current day temperature is. It covers the temp.

The station preferences are per-instance and not per-widget because many people are using the widget to monitor several stations at the same time. That means that every time you update you instantiate a fresh widget and the preferences for the old one are lost. It's a small price to pay for functionality. The widget is usually quite static and updates are few and far between, but in this case an update was necessary to add the new 7-day forecasts from Environment Canada.
The missing "done" button is a well-known issue with dashboard: since switching to 7-day forecast caused a resize of the widget, installing over the old one didn't unload the css properly and left it in a mangled state. All one had to do is hit apple+R while mousing over the widget to get it fixed. There's a note on the widget's website to that effect, but unfortunately it didn't make it elsewhere.

Latest version: forgot to put the "done" button on so once we've set the location we can use the damn thing!
Previous versions (including this one): forgets your location. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. YOU. UPDATE.
Sigh.

I'm sorry for your troubles.
