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.

Thankfully I'm just getting brushed by the southern edge of this system. I may end up with a total accumulation of 2-4". That's honestly more than I want (I'm only a fan of warm weather precip). But the temps are going to be cold. It's only 16 degrees here right now and I imagine we'll make a run toward 0 before daybreak. And that wind has really been gusty at times. This is definately a night to stay indoors and watch a little tv.
<Sigh>..............I'll really be happy to get this misery known as Winter over with and get on with Spring.

Well, here in western Kansas, sunny skies tomorrow and a high around 50. Monday, sunny skies, highs in the mid 60s! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Rockwell Schrock of Cape Cod, I hope you have a camera, I and the rest of the ST community expect to see pictures of this Snowicane. 60-80mph winds with S+... are you kidding me??? :shock: :shock: Good luck out there,

Mike,
If you would be so kind, please gather everyone in Dodge City you can, face toward the east and blow as hard as you can. Maybe you can get some of that warm air over here to help us unfortunate freezing folks! :lol:

Here's an update from the front:
It's snowing. And it's windy. Too bad Jim Cantorie's plane got stuck in Chicago. I'm all over this storm, and he's out there somewhere sleeping in an airport hotel. I hope you're reading this, Jimmy boy, because your job security has just decresed in baseball-sized amounts.
Anyway, it's hard to get a picture of this event at the moment. Truth be told, there isn't a lot to see, since visibility is zero. I can't even tell how much has accumulated because the snow has drifted all over the place.
Here's the best my Sony DSC-S30 could muster (copy and paste URL):

Rockwell, your pictures not showing up 
Anyway, quite a few stations already reporting snowfall totals of 8-10 inches, and tons more to come :shock:

how does snow accumulation effect radar attenuation?

the drift outside my window is about 5 feet tall right now.
in all my memory from growing up here as a kid... I dont remember ever seeing anything close to this. And radar is still solid green.

Attenuation is generally not a problem with 10 cm weather radars such as the 88d.
Kevin Scharfenberg
Not to go OT, but we're learning in the developing dual-pol radar age that attenuation at 10 cm has a little more impact than we thought. Here's a case with a couple of examples: http://cimms.ou.edu/~kscharf/pol/15jun02/
I'll dig around (pun intended!) and see if wet snow accumulating on the radome is considered a source of attenuation. In this case, I doubt there's much of a problem because the snow is dry and powdery, so it is not likely sticking to the radome.

Coastal flooding never happened here and that dry slot killed us overnight. I've got about 7 inches of snow on the ground, with barely any drifting. Be very, very skeptical of the snowfall reports you see on tv and even from the NWS. I've seen reports that Darien has gotten 18 inches of snow. I've been to every corner of town and there aren't even 18 inch drifts.

the drift outside my window is about 6 feet now. 2-3 on the ground with some deep drifts. Not to mention the ass plowing the street left a good 5 foot bank at the foot of our driveway. thats gunna be fun.

Near the shores of beutiful Lake Anna VA, we got a grand total of one half inch snow over some sleet. What a letdown! I was looking forward to lurking through the snow with some hot buttered rum.
