FORMICA I agree with PCHARLES67 -- Meteorologist offers more weather data (if you choose to display it) and superior control over that data. Weather Vane does offer a fair amount of data, but it only displays it in a tooltip box with tiny writing, and like almost all tooltips everywhere, it doesn't display long enough to read all of it (or perhaps I'm just a slow reader!). Furthermore, Meteorologist can show the radar image for your location, but I'm guessing that few people use that function because it's buried a little deep. You have to open the Preferences, select the Cities tab, double-click your city's name, select the Weather Items tab, then put a check mark in the Radar Image checkbox, even though the word "None" in the "Unit" column is greyed out, giving the impression it's not yet implemented.
Anyway, Weather Vane is nice, but Meteorologist is superior in every way.
