One of the free software add-ons you can get for your Nintendo Wii turns one of the "channels" on the menu into a weather station. I got it because, as I mentioned: free. But it's really, really pointless.
Without getting into a lot of extra clicks, the only thing it can really tell you is the current weather. Current-ish. Sometimes, the "current temperature" it's giving you is a few hours old. It certainly doesn't beat looking out the damn window for learning what the current weather is.
Friends of mine suggested that perhaps one good use for this weather feature would be to give it some distant friend or relative's zip code as "your" zip code, and then you can use one button to get the general weather that day wherever that person lives.
You know... if you're way into weather, I guess.

It's more fun to just grab the globe and spin it. Works in the news channel too.
You should have Roland's weather service... they give high temperatures in ranges of 40 degrees. As in "today's high will be somewhere between 20 and 60". Really? Holy crap I'm glad he looked or I might have worn the wrong coat.
