• 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.

Go Kansas!

Yeah, like some of you said it seems Kansas is starting to become a miniature Texas as far as tornadoes go. Also I like the Fred Phelps picture. Kansas would not be Kansas without the wonderful Rev. Phelps:rolleyes:.

Just wanted to pass along some good research that is being done on the effects of ENSO phase on severe weather across parts of the plains. The first link is basically the how behind the research project which was presented at the SLS in St. Louis, MO in 2006, and the second link is the extended abstract from the presentation from last falls SLS in Savannah, GA. From the research that we have done so far, there does seem to be a statistically significant correlation with ENSO phase and severe weather in parts of the Plains. The reason behind this correlation is certainly apparent when analyzing the mean 500 mb heights for La Nina springs. Although, the pattern is stronger if we can maintain a La Nina throughout the spring.
