• 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.

DISC: Major Winter Storm for Pacific NW

A series of winter storms have already plagued the Seattle area and all throughout the Pacific Northwest. Now is when things get REAL interesting...

Looks like a powerful Mountain Wave event will impact the greater Seattle area, especially the foothills of the Cascades. Winds sustained ~ 50 with gusts to 90+ in some locales!

Certainly with all the snow on the ground now, and the potential for more snow with this type of wind, this could be a devastating storm! Already, NWS and media is stating possible week-long power outages.
 
Upgraded to High Wind Warning now... 90mph gusts almost certain in some of the mountain gaps and here in the eastern King Co. foothills.
 
Never seen quite the "doomsday" forecast as the SEA WSFO is calling for this weekend throughout most of western Washington! Blizzard Warnings up for most of the Cascades and lower foothills. Winds still anticipated (sustained) at 75mph +. Whiteout conditions... this could be a once in a century type storm for Seattle.............. IF this really transpires.

Took the family out shopping this evening - big mistake! Lines were forever long, people buying up food, generators, batteries... what would have been a normal 30 minute commute between town and the malls turned into 3+ hours!
 
Hi Billy, the snow here in Idaho has not let up for a while now. We have had conitnous days of snow and wind and today was probably the most significant storm so far. Close to 10 inches fell on 6-7 inches that was already on the ground. To top that off winds of 30+ mph have been creating white out conditions with significant drifting of snow. I plowed my driveway 3 times today and the highest drift was around 2 feet tall. As I type there are more dirfts that are getting taller and by morning I am guessing that I will be digging the cars out just to get off my property.

The extended outlook has snow for all 7 days and every other storm is a significant snow producer. Like you said about "storm of the century" its looking like a record winter here.

Looks like another potent storm to roll in Christmas Eve/Day. Winter Storm Watch issued for much of Idaho, and likely to be upgraded to warnings later today. Another nice looking moisture tap feeding into this storm system as well, making this storm very similar to the last one.
I-86 which in the main Interstate connector from southern Idaho to Utah has been closed for the past two days due to blowing snow.

Looks like Portland will be getting a white Christmas! When was the last time that happened? Wow.
