• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

WOW, again, WOW, just south of Fergus Falls MN in the Blizzard warned area. I94 is a total mess. The visiblity is about 1/4 mile at best and the snow is the heavy wet concrete stuff that makes the road about as bad as a bobs road after a heavy thunderstorm.

Back to looking for the thunder snow.
 
It started with the sleet here before 6 AM. Turn over didn't occur until about 12:30. Still snowing, maybe another 2 inches left here. Looking out my window at snowfall totals around a foot drifts up to 4 feet. Power is flickering here, maybe it will got out? We got about 1/4" to 1/2" of sleet under the snow. I spent an hour stuck at work trying to get out of our unplowed parking lots. Not much fun. SO much for the spring football game, softball and baseball doubleheaders tomorrow.:mad:
 
I just got back to Neva's after a pretty interesting evening and night chasing the blizzard warned storm up by Fergus Falls MN. The winds were strong but not as insane or intense as the last blizzard that I chase 15 days ago up in Duluth but the snow pack was insane and the amount of snow was intense.

It is a now five days before the month of May and you could go and "Snow Mobile" around Fergus Falls MN if you wanted to this weekend.

Here is the video blog from the chase.

Check out the very first shot. That snow pile is HUGE and this is not the lite fluffy snow but the stuff that is like concrete. At least it will be gone in a week but then comes the flooding.

Ok, time to call it a night and get some sleep.
 
Didn't get a chance to take any pictures (broke camera). Saw 4 cars in the ditch on Friday afternoon east of Brookings. Then saw a couple powerlines down and many broken branches from ice buildup.
