I assume you left the name of your city vague on purpose (sensitive 
personal information posted on the net and all that), or I'd check the 
results I get here for it.

I don't have time to investigate ATM as I'm headed for work in a few, but 
I'd suggest you try with a clean user config, and see if that gives you 
better results.  If my earlier theory is correct and they changed 
formats, it may be that the old settings are somehow interfering with 
display of all possibilities.

FWIW, I believe all the weather plasmoids use a common kde backend 
weather service, so unless the plasmoid screwed up how its using that, 
all weather plasmoids should have the same city listings, and if it's 
screwed for one it's probably screwed for all.  The different plasmoids 
simply display the results a bit differently.
