I was bored so I decided to hand draw a skew-t chart. The hardest part is drawing the chart, plotting the temperature is really easy

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.

Looks like a lot of work to me. As a meteorologist and storm chaser, I do find utility in plotting my own data. There are plenty of downloadable blank charts on the Web.

Many years ago in school, I printed out a blank skew-t, placed it on hardboard backing, covered it in plastic, and then plotted my data with grease pencils (I know..."leather pouches and stone knives" technology).

That is the exact pdf I used to draw the skew-T chart. I put a sheet of paper over the screen and sketched out the correct sizes. I would have printed it out but the printer is low on ink :s

Hand-drawing is CRITICAL to understanding what you're seeing - but if you're in the mood for drawing, I'd concentrate more on surface / upperair maps vs individual soundings. More bang for the buck...
