I am in Pittsburgh, and while I have seen more snow and there was a stretch I want to say maybe a decade or more ago where we went like a week where the high never got above 0 F, but it just seems like this year it is more relentless and like the city was ill prepared for it (running out of salt, really?). I have taken to joking that if I a scheduled for a day off you can count on it snowing, as it has for the last 4 Sundays now.
That being said, you were talking about writing conferences and workshops and one just happened to pop up on my newsfeed on Facebook, 2014 Summer Fishtrap (http://fishtrap.org/). I only heard about it because I interviewed one of the authors that will be running one of the workshops, Luis Alberto Urrea, back in my radio days and just thought I would pass along the info. I am not saying it is good or bad, I really do not know so I would not put my stamp of approval on it, but if you are bored and want to look into it feel free.
