• 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.

Canadian Radar

I know wxworx has data plans that have Canadian radar. I don't remember how much of Canada is covered, and I don't know where else to find it since I don't go that far North usually. However, I bet some others have a better idea than I do.
 
The first link from Dennis is the only place I've ever seen Canadian radar on the web. It may not be the greatest, but it sure beats what they had 5-8 years ago. Back then there were about 5 different colors for reflectivty, and they were the weirdest colors. Something like pink for weak returns then yellow and light blue. It just hurt your eyes to look at it.

If you stay near the border you can usually use the NWS radars (however you get that, web, software, etc...) pretty well.

Yeah, EC owns all the RADARs. So anything you get off of Accuweather or TWN or anywhere else is just re-packaged. I hope better stuff comes out sooner rather than later--I mean, there's a lot RADAR more info available than what's out there on the web!

I created this google earth plugin:

Right now it contains QC and ON only, I can add some more if you want.

Nice work Marc! I've been working on this myself, although in my case I was using client-side scripts to remove the background map and graphics. The PHP solution seems a bit more elegant though!

I think this approach gives you a product somewhat better than what you get from the EC website, although the radar is still low-res. Maybe someday they'll open up the data a bit...
