• 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.

Hi folks,

I am wondering if anyone of the NWS employees on here could help me out on this one. This afternoon I was woke up by my weather radio SAME. The display said "WINTER STORM WARNING" with the red led lit. The audio came on
by itself then shut off as the end EAS tone.
This has only happened twice since I've owend a
NWR. Is the NWS starting to use EAS for winter
storm events?. I remember usually hearing the radio trip for the weekly test and for summer time svr storms/tornado/marine warning/flash flood events.

If it helps my office is NWSFO BGM

Looks like a nice storm system taking shape this weekend:).

Thanks,
Jeremy
 
I am not NWS affiliated, but my office (DVN) does use it for winter weather products Blizzard Watch/Warning Winter Storm Watch/Warning Ice Storm Warning.. Seems to me like this started about two years ago..
