• 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.

Will go ahead and start a NOW thread for the area since SPC has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. It covers the eastern plains of Colorado from about Colorado Springs northward into the Nebraska Panhandle and southern Wyoming. This barely includes the eastern sides of the Denver Metro area.

Storms have fired down near Colorado Springs and in eastern Wyoming/Nebraska Panhandle. Several severe warnings are out at this time..
 
Boy that was a tremendous supercell from Fort Collins. (I mean yeah, by Stormtrack and Norman standards, it sucked because it didn't put down a monster tornado, but from ordinary Joe standards like myself that enjoy nice supercells, it was nice looking.) Stationary for the longest time and beautiful updraft that looked so close to Fort Collins (yet a 1.5 hour drive). I regret biking into work yesterday. Couldn't find any grad students that wanted to drive out yesterday. Grad students don't care about real storms anymore these days. They'd rather model them on their computer.
In other words, they are much more responsible than myself.
Sad and regretful,
Chris

No worries, Chris.. I missed out on that beauty as well.. got called into work again that evening and accepted.. saw the gorgeous storm from Denver in the horizon and thought I made a big mistake.. work sucked, too, so I really paid the price.. :cry:
