^ No, that's not the issue.  The random freezes occurred before that issue appeared.  Besides, I've manually implemented Teo's fix with no resolution to the random freezes.

I've been having issues for awhile now with intermittent, short freezes where my keyboard and mouse are unresponsive.  I've been wondering lately if it might by the conky weather scripts.  I'm currently running 1_accuweather, including hourly, and 3_conky_forecast_nws.  So today while I was working, I noticed a freeze from 16:10:33 - 16:10:37.  I checked the weather script folders and noted a time stamp of 16:10 for the hourly_2015 and hourly_2016 folders, as well as the hourly1 and hourly2 text files under the 1_accuweather folder.  Anyone else using either of the aforementioned scripts and noticing intermittent, short freezes on their system?

I've never noticed anything like this KrunchTime; I doubt conky has the power to intervene in any way with the keyboard or the mouse.
What you could do is turn off conky for a few hours, or even a whole day, and monitor your system's behavior. Who knows, maybe it isn't conky after all...
Please keep us posted.

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

@ KrunchTime

This may or may not have an impact, but check the scripts, not the conkys the scripts.

IE: 1_accuweather, somewhere around line 245-250 (I added various locations so mine sits at 254) you'll find a line:

kill -STOP $(pidof conky)

Comment it out:

###	kill -STOP $(pidof conky)

and near the bottom, make sure this is commented as well:

### kill -CONT $(pidof conky)

Check the moon script for the same lines.

See if that helps.

Yea, froze my ears when I was a kid walking to school, living in Portage la Prairie, 50 miles west of Winnipeg.  After a while in class they started to hurt and I was groaning and reaching for them and my teacher yelled out, "DON'T TOUCH THEM!" running down to my seat.  Teacher said I could snap them off because they 'were' frozen.  School nurse said the same about being frozen but nothing about 'snapping' them off.  I do remember the "black ears" though, I wore gauze bandages with cream over my ears for a long time and the pain was not fun!  To this day they are still very sensitive to cold.

And since this is a weather channel or thread: This In From Accuweather.  Sometimes people here say things like, "Oh you're Canadian, so you like the cold and snow huh!"  "NO!"  And then they have a hard time understanding that in simmer Toronto is just like Buenos Aires - HOT and HUMID!

Petawawa, Ontario Canada winter of 77 - took two hours to drive home on a Friday after noon - a 10 minuted drive in the summer.  Saturday morning, I looked out my second storey bedroom window and all I could see was the tip of my radio antenna on my Ford LTD Station Wagon.  And those things were like the Queen Mary of cars (that's the same colour and panels too).  Do you like shovelling snow?  NO!  I literally had to climb out a second story window onto the little roof over the backdoor and dig my way down to the door itself. See that beer fridge up there, I had the makings of that one.  big_smile

I remember one Veterans Day while in the military when I was stationed in the DC area, there was an early snow storm.  The snow was very wet.  It took me quite awhile to get back to the base I was staying at.  I worked at another location that required commuting through DC.  People got stuck on the highway and just abandoned their vehicles.  When I got to the base, I had to spend about an hour digging out a parking space for my car.

How long did it take for things to get back to normal when you had snow storms like what you showed in the pictures?

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

Well, it depends of where I was, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg etc.  But usually if the police keep people off the roads - every radio, and TV station announcing it, the main roads are cleared in a day and the city with luck and no more blizzards fully cleared in a week or less.  Canada is pretty well equipped for this.  In Ontario and Manitoba (as far as I recall, there are trucks and graders on the highways from the time a storm starts to the time it's over and the roads cleared.  So usually in a storm you can at least move around slowly especially if you get behind a truck/grader.

2017-08-01_181725_Scrot11.jpg

The big red dot was my little slice of the rowhouse wher I had to climb out the 2nd storey window, the little dot is where my LTD was.  14 buried cars in that lot and 14 men digging.  By noon we still couldn't see our cars, it was heavy wet snow, still digging our way to them or from the road in. I was on a three man team working in from the road when a buddy came by.  A Combat Engineer type, in a HUGE front end loader (this was an Army base), you know the type, the wheels are a man an a half tall, the bucket could hold a couple of cars.  I flagged him down, "Hey Bob, you think you could clean out a nice wide path to the back of the parking lot?" 'Bob', for the sake of a name.
"Nope, not allowed, roads only. Our orders."
"OH OK, I understand.  ummm ... You allowed a coffee break?"
"Oh course!"
"Good, park back there." Indicating the back of the parking lot.
"Just a sec," and on the raido, "This is XXXX, I'm going for a coffee."
From the radio "As long as you don't block the roads you have 15 minutes."
To-wit 'Bob', bucket down, went down the left side of the opening right past the curb at the back of the lot and onto the grass, and then backed out to the road again. "You mean back there?"
"Yea, but a little more to the right would be better".  ]:D  BINGO!
And we had the main part of our parking lot cleared!  By the time 'Bob' had finished his coffee at my place he had a case of 24 beer and a few extra, almost a second case, donated by 'the gang' for him to pick up at the end of his day.  I was a hero.  big_smile
The base was still digging out a week later even though the Engineers had cleared the roads in short order. It was the worst snowfall I had ever experienced.   Normally the Combat Engineers are not allowed to use their heavy equipment on the base like that, but because of this storm, there was a "State of Emergency" almost province wide and in Quebec as well.

Yea yea, what's an Air Force guy doing on an Army base, well, my Career Mangler put it like this; "When you're at your draughting table, what does it matter if it's a plane or a tank you see out the window.  {sigh}.

Now back on topic:
The weather: It's night, it's dark, tomorrow when the sun comes up it will be light and daytime.

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

Main roads aren't usually an issue during snow storms except at the beginning.  It's the side streets and people's driveways that tend to take forever to get cleared.

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

@Krunchtime
Is your issue solved by commenting out the pause and restart of conky?
Can you please confirm?
Never heard of something like this, ie. pausing and restarting conky affecting the mouse's and keyboard's behavior.
