WORKING NOW

We fixed the software and a broken antenna. I’m almost afraid to exhale….

THE CAMERA IS NOT WORKING

Mike — Sat, 11 May 2013 23:42:47 +0000

I am working to correct problems that arose with the installation of a new router (which the camera does not like, at all). It could take a few days to fix. Meanwhile the Weather Station is updating properly.

THAT’S NOT SNOW

Mike — Sun, 05 May 2013 22:33:23 +0000

For persons looking at the picture late on Sunday, that is hail. Very heavy hail from an intense electric storm at 3:30 pm. And I do mean…. intense.

A BIGGER PICTURE

I know a number of people watch this space regularly. I want to make sure you get the best out of your obsession. If you have a PC, do a Control/+ click as many times as your screen can handle it, to grow the picture. (That’s control/plus sign) If you have a Mac, the process is Command +. And have fun.

MORE ON PG&E AND PLOWING

Mike — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:18:13 +0000

By the end of Thursday, all basin roads will have been plowed, and also the Oro-Quincy Highway to the Butte line. Various contractors are starting to plow the cabin access roads.

Also, PG&E has requested I post another link to an announcement about their FERC/Bucks Lake relicensing. Once again, I will try to make it clickable, but if not, just paste or copy it into your browser. http://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/common/OpenNat.asp?fileID=13228650

Plowing Update

Mike — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 01:32:04 +0000

The road opening is going way faster than, perhaps, ever before. If you click on the Bucks Lake Fire link you will see the webcam image of the fire department intersection. The County anticipates heading toward the Dam Road before the end of the week. Amazing.

SPRING ROAD PLOWING

Mike — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:48:30 +0000

The County is scheduled to begin plowing this morning (Monday). It is likely they are doing that even with the small amount of new snow. They will go to the fire station, and then turn left to do Big Creek, the Highlands, and Countryman. Then they will return to do the Dam Road and Oro-Quincy Highway to the county line. You can check their progress by getting on the county’s website..

A BETTER WEB ADDRESS FROM PG&E

Mike — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:33:06 +0000

People have been struggling with the PDF version of the PG&E questionnaire, so PG&E has now provided access to a Word version that may be completed on line. The deadline has been extended to April 19. The link:

MORE ON PG&E

The link is working the way it was designed by PG&E. They expect you to see the form as a PDF file, using Adobe, (free download at adobe.com). Then you download and print it, fill it out and snail mail it. Seems a little 1990 to me, but that’s how it is. Still it is worth doing to express yourself.

CONFIRMING THE PG&E LINK

Mike — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 02:45:31 +0000

I have had some feedback the web address in the post below is not working. Here it is again:

http://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/common/OpenNat.asp?fileID=13204387

If this does not work, let me know and I will take it up with PG&E…….
