• 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.

So out of my boredom I decided to write about the recent event in a semi story fashion. Im no great writer, but I thought I would do something different.

Basically last night I sat on my front porch for several hours and felt the 2 seasons as the powerful cold front came by. The night included power flashes, branches falling, a few beers and several different precip types within an hour.

You can read the whole "story" complete with pics n video on my blog: http://aerostorm9.blogspot.com/2008/12/it-was-sunday-night-december-14th-2008.html

If your bored that is...but while Im on the subject I wanted to know if anyone else has done such a thing. Most of the stories people have about winter storms are bad ones, but are there any good, or at least "neat" ones? We talk about our personal experiences with severe thunderstorms all the time, so why not the winter ones.
 
That was a pretty cool write up man. I saw the cold front pass through here too and was amazed at how quickly the springlike airmass was brushed away by the arctic air. We went from a nice springtime day to an all out icestorm in less than 3 hours. Weather never ceases to amaze me!
