Leopard's Web Clippings

I am not a big widget user, but I just found a very practical use for Leopard's web clipping capabilities. I went to the web page that has information about snow-releated school closings in our area, and clipped the relevant part of the page to my desktop.

Now, in the morning, I can simply hit F12 on my computer, and see if the school has a delay or closure. And, at work, I can monitor the weather and see if the school is going to close early, and make any necessary arrangements. Because I work an hour south of where I live, the weather at work is often significantly milder than the weather at home. So, using the web to monitor the weather is the most practical way to stay aware of what the school is up to.
