Big storm forecast for Saturday … then Saturday night … then Sunday … and now Sunday night to Monday afternoon. Maybe 3-5 inches of snow. Stay tuned to see if it really happens.
It has been almost axiomatic that if the weatherman forecasts a storm, it won’t happen around here. They go north … or they go south … and bypass Pocatello entirely. There’s some kind of a weather phenomenon happening and I’m sure there are good scientific explanations. Regardless, we may get some much-needed snow but then again, we may not. The winter so far has been pretty good to us in terms of snowpack. In our watershed area we’re currently slightly above normal with a significant part of the winter still to come. From my own experience I’ve had much more time behind the snowblower this year than last year!
Most of the work on the new release of the Picture Album software is now complete. It’s working quite well (at least for me). The next step is to put together some instructions for the software. I think I’ll make several “screencast” videos demonstrating the system. I’ve also been doing some testing using Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a place to park videos rather than putting them on my home system. Videos put on that storage system serve up much faster than they do from here which should make it a more useful experience.
The weekend has been very pleasant. This was Stake Conference weekend so I attended a leadership meeting yesterday afternoon at 4 p.m. Nina and I then went to the adult session with some good friends at 7 p.m. This morning the general session was from 10 a.m. to noon. I always enjoy Stake Conference and this one was quite good. It’s been nice to be at home for the entire last week. Except for the aborted trip to the dentist the week has been quiet.
It has also been somewhat introspective as well. Friday the 18th was the seventh anniversary of Trevor’s death. I miss him terribly. Tuesday the 15th Traci would have been 34 years old. What does she look like? Does she know Trevor? I hope so. It’s easy to get maudlin (definition #2 when you look it up in Websters) thinking about them. Happy birthday Traci. I miss you, Trevor.
