WeatherVane sits reliably and neatly in the menu bar and tells you all you need to know.

I'm a happy user of WeatherDock, so I'm not really inclined to switch. But if there's a better mousetrap...
A couple of comments:
First, I have had it running on my PowerBook (G4/1.67GHz/10.4.8) since I downloaded it earlier today, and have not seen a single "nag notice." Perhaps the developer removed it in this version?
I'd have to say the comparison between this and WeatherDock go to which side of the bread is buttered. I like WeatherDock's icon/font display slightly better, and it uses the degree symbol rather than F(ahrenheit), so it uses less menu space. My biggest problem is that it does not allow me to "name" my location -- I entered my zip code and weather.com seems to believe that zip belongs to a town eight miles away. It would be nice if I could create "home," "work," "Mom's" and so on.
The windoids for the current details and forecast are nice. I also like the fact that I can specify how often WeatherSnitch performs its checks -- something WeatherDock cannot do.
WeatherDock has more features, but not everyone will want to use them (speaking the weather, dock icon, desktop icon, etc.).
All in all, I'd say it's a toss-up. Chances are, if you already have a weather-menu tool, you'll stick with it. If not, WeatherSnitch may be just what you want.
