There are three settings for Schenectady, NY:

loc_name=Schenectady, Schenectady County
lat=42.814243
lon=-73.939569

loc_name=Schenectady, New York
lat=42.809545
lon=-74.021672

loc_name=Schenectady, Liberty Street
lat=42.814491
lon=-73.942709

Put one of these three in ~/.config/xfce4/panel/weather-*.rc:
$ xfce4-panel -q && mousepad ~/.config/xfce4/panel/weather-*.rc &&
xfce4-panel &
Use Alt-Tab ;)
