[AWIPS #IUD-228100]: difficulty installing phython-awips course material

Hey Jim,

> I did this with Anaconda Prompt. Nothing listed.

Okay, yeah this definitely looks like the environment wasn't created properly 
for whatever reason.
Let's go ahead and delete the environment, update conda, and then recreate the 
environment.

1. Open a new anaconda prompt terminal, run: 
conda env remove -n python3-awips

2. Check the current version of conda, run:
conda --version

3. If it is less than 4.14.0, update conda, run:
conda update conda

4. Check the new version of conda, run:
conda --version

5. Recreate new environment, go to the directory where python-awips is, run:
conda env create -f environment.yml

6. Activate new environment, add python-awips package:
conda activate python3-awips
python setup.py install --force

7. Now list all the conda packages in this environment one more time:
conda list -n python3-awips

8. Test out the notebooks:
jupyter notebook examples

Let me know how that goes?

And yes I'm in the area, and this is definitely a bit of a cold snap we're 
getting.  
Thankfully it's supposed to start warming up by tomorrow.

Thanks!
