Um, hands down the first one.

Weather.com had those low res icons back then since a lot of people had dial-up still, and those icons were easier to load.

Wow, how times have changed.   For some reason, however, I don't remember weather.com having those low-res icons but do remember Yahoo! Weather using them before upgrading to the present-day realistic ones.
