• 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.

Blizzard / Tornado Warning!

This really doesn't belong in the NOW thread, so I just thought I'd comment here. What's really interesting to see is on the NWS color-shaded maps, you'll see that Finney County, Kansas is RED, as well as Ford and Gray counties in KS (RED also) - but what's the difference? The red for Finney County (Garden City) is for a "Blizzard Warning," while the red in Gray and Ford County, KS is for a "Tornado Warning," with a confirmed tornado on the ground at this very moment! :eek:

I thought this was very unique and kind of neat to see on a map like that. I do not recall seeing something like that (those two extremes so close together), although I'm sure it's happened many times before. What's also fun to think about is just how close those storms of today came close to getting into the snow covered areas of far west Kansas and eastern Colorado. What a photo that would make, eh?
 
Next time, instead of linking us to the site url, which updates constantly, please save the image, upload it to a photo server, and send us that link. Your current link shows nothing of what you mention.

I'm sure it was impressive.
 
Also realize that the Blizzard Warning is not in effect now, so the map is wrong in showing it valid at the same time as the TOR.
 
Yep, just realized that "goof." Anyway, it was kinda neat seeing a blizzard warning with all those counties in red, along with the two red counties in the tornado warning right next to each other!
