• 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.

Had our latest accumulating snow of the season this morning since 2013 (beating last year's 4/17 winter storm that dropped 7" of snow). We only managed to accumulate about 2-2.5" on most surfaces, but it was enough to weigh the trees down and cause me to lose power for several hours. I have a feeling if this had all fallen overnight, we would have easily double that. Either way it makes for an amazing spring morning. It will likely be all melted by afternoon due to the late April sun angle. Here are some photographs I shot around 8am this morning:

Nice winter scenery pic's guys.
That first one looks like something that could be on a Christmas Card.
 
Wow and I complained about it last night falling. It’s all gone now. I can barely see it on windows of cars.

I live in Illinois too but on the very bottom along the Ohio River in a little town called Metropolis.
