OS X 10.7.4 Users - A solution to get Weatherman working

I, too, have been using Weatherman for a number of years, and recently noticed that it was no longer updating the weather. I figured out a fix this morning that MAY work for some of you.

Fortunately, I have a cloned, bootable version of my Mac when it was running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.8). Its on an external drive. This is what I did.

I went into "System Preferences" and selected "Startup Disk."
I then selected my bootable Snow Leopard clone as the new startup disk and booted up into that.
Once on the Snow Leopard desktop, I opened up Weathermans "Preferences."
I clicked on "Cities," selected one of the cities that I had loaded into Weatherman at that time.
I then copied down on a piece of paper the "City Setup Codes (i.e., "Conditions Code," Forecast Code," "FIPS Code," and the "NEXRAD") for that city.
I then went back into System Preferences, clicked on Startup Disk, and selected my Macs main hard drive running OS X (Lion) 10.7.4.
I went into Weatherman, and then went into its "Preferences."
I selected "Cities" and clicked on the "plus sign" in the lower-left corner to add a new city.
I selected "Setup U.S. Location" window opened, I just filled in the city setup codes that Id copied down.

And VOILA! It works again.

Yes, I know, its a royal pain, but if you happen to have a backup drive that has an earlier verion of your Macs OS when Weatherman was working, as I do, this solution may work for you.

Good luck.
