There are three settings for Schenectady, NY:
loc_name=Schenectady, Schenectady County
lat=42.814243
lon=-73.939569
loc_name=Schenectady, New York
lat=42.809545
lon=-74.021672
loc_name=Schenectady, Liberty Street
lat=42.814491
lon=-73.942709
Put one of these three in ~/.config/xfce4/panel/weather-*.rc:
$ xfce4-panel -q && mousepad ~/.config/xfce4/panel/weather-*.rc &&
xfce4-panel &
Use Alt-Tab ;)

I actually copied the fc17 config, called weather-17.rc, to the fc18 config,
called weather-11.rc, and that resulted in a functional weather applet. I take
that back, an applet which gives me what I want. Another user entering Boston
got "Searching" and not doing anything obvious, no cpu, disk, or network
activity. I really think this is broken, will do a bug on it unless someone else
has done so.
I just logged out and back in, your panel restart w/o logout is a trick I saved
but didn't really felt necessary, login is down at the "just happens" level
already.
Thanks for the pointer to the workaround!
