• 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.

Hello Everyone!

The 2016 Minnesota Severe Storms Conference will be help on April 9th, 2016 at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, MN. The MNSSC is a great regional conference for spotters and chasers to learn more and connect with others that share the same passion!

Our Keynote Speaker will be Mr. Bob Dixson, mayor of Greensburg, Kansas. Mr. Dixson will be talking about how the town is doing now 9 years after an EF-5 tornado destroyed nearly every building in the town. This is sure to be a riveting presentation with lots of information for everyone!

In addition, we will have presentations about the latest in severe storms research, weather safety and large event safety from the team charged with keeping events safe for the PGA tour. We'll also have a radar and forecasting workshop where we encourage active participation from the audience!

Interested and want to learn more? Visit our website at www.mnssc.org
Tickets are $30 and proceeds go to help improve spotter operations in the region.
