Tiger only hintOne of my favorite Dashboard widgets is the Weather widget. After using it for some time, it failed to update its information. After a reboot, the widget even stayed blank. Retyping the city information on the back did not solve the problem. The log file stated that com.apple.widget.weather: Fetching data failed..."

Finally, instead of Rotterdam, Netherlands, I tried New York, wich worked fine. I then tried Rotterdam again, and this time it worked as usual. So if the widget fails for your city, try New York (or another big US city) and then switch back to your city.
