• 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.

Hailstorm and Thundersnow, in the same day

Not entirely sure what section to post this in - not quite enough severe for TA, but only partially winter-weather related. So posting it here. Mods, feel free to move if you think it fits better somewhere else. On Saturday, May 11, I experienced both a hailstorm at home and then a successful thundersnow chase in the Wolf Creek Pass area in Colorado. Although it was less at my house, hail accumulated up to 3 inches deep in parts of Pagosa Springs, pea to dime size. Here is a short version of my thundersnow video, taken at the Wolf Creek Ski Area:


A full chase report, with a longer thundersnow video, video of the hail at my house, and a number of photos, can be seen at:

 
How cool.

I've had days where "nature can't make up its mind" .. where we get a bit of everything sun/rain/sleet/snow/hail. Those days are kinda fun, especially because its multiple separate little "storms"

Thundersnow on the other hand, thats extremely rare here :( only ever seen it happen a couple times.
