• 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.

What were some of your low temperatures Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday morning?

The real cold air isn't supposed to arrive to the East Coast until tonight, and it will be greatly moderated from the Plains.
 
It was -13F when I got off work yesterday early morning. Myself and another co-worker almost got frostbite on our hands due to the cold. It was probably -17/-20F if you take into account wind-chill. What that doesn't take into account though is having to touch a cold steering wheel, gas pump or touch a frozen solid door handle. Forecasted wind chills were between -15/-30F yesterday but the wind didn't seem to materialize. Quite a switch from some of the warm weather we were having earlier last month, these temps are more reminiscent of Feburary than early December.

At -10 or less it's almsot a waste of time to turn the heater on in the car unless taking a trip to another city.
 
brr

-16 early yesterday morning. Took 20 minutes to warm the truck up. Even then the power steering was reluctant and the whole car seemed to say "dont move me please".
 
-11.2 this morning at the house, and only hit 11.5 this afternoon.

Sitting at -0.6 right now, waiting for the 900:1 ratio snow to arrive..... :wink:
 
Grand Forks, ND has been seasonably cold but our lows have been relatively mild compared to many areas since we've been socked in clouds and might have one inch of snow on the ground. The grass is still visible in spots. 75 miles from the Canuck border with hardly any snow while parts of KS and OK have significant accumulations. The coldest temp here thus far was -9F on Dec 4. It will be hard to get through Jan and Feb without a couple -20 to -30 days. About 5 months before any real chance of severe convection up here.
 
It isn't too bad here in Norman, but it is quite cold to our west and northwest. Much of southwestern KS should break record lows tonight (DDC is -2F currently, with a record low of -5 or -7 IIRC). The current temp in Boise City, OK (in Cimarron county in the panhandle) is -9F, quite respectable for the southern plains.
