So with the weather a little mixed up at the moment, you should take some precautions before heading outdoors. You can give yourself some home tech support to help check out the weather.
If you have Windows Vista, you can view current temperature information on your desktop using the Windows Sidebar and the weather temperature gadget.
Note: There are two temperature gadgets. One's weather and the other one is for your CPU (see image). Just don't put sunscreen on your computer!
