I received an email from a friend today asking how "we track tornadoes in situations like this" (i.e., winter)? So, I wrote up an explanation: http://meteorologicalmusings.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-do-we-track-tornadoes.html

Please feel free to forward it to your friends if they are asking similar questions.

It was interesting today how critical the STL TDWR was. It is a huge improvement because of the wind field resolution.

SPC also did a nice job with the tornado watches in a subtle situation.

I also would like to wish all of my StormTrack friends a Happy New Year!!!
 
NWS radar and GRLv3 are very useful in predicting the possibilities of a pending tornado.
