Right click "Personal" under "On This Computer" in the left window. 3. Click "New Calendar". 4. Select "Weather" Type. 5. Type calendar name and Select a "Location" city and Click OK. Now, a new weather calendar is created. Actual results: The new weather calendar can't get data. Expected results: The weather data can be retrieved and the weather info can be showed. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information:

Patch committed into CVS HEAD. Jeff, please close this bug as fixed.
