• 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.

Sorry, John. I think I've got ya' beat on this one...

If I'm not mistaken, I think this was the 1978, 2+ foot snowstorm, that hit Paducah, KY and much of the Ohio Valley. I was nine years old at the time.
My mother took this picture at my at grandmother's house. Eventually, the back porch roof gave way. (sigh) Such were the days back when it used to snow.

This photo was taken back in 2004, once again, when a record-breaking snowfall hit Paducah, KY.
My mother gets the photo credits again. Even though the embedded image displays 1994, her camera is so old, 1999 is the highest number it would allow, so it is indeed actually from the 2004 snowstorm.

On a serious note, great macro photography, John! Excellent clarity and DOF.

I'm really getting into marco photography. Not a whole lot of use with weather lol, but great for insects!!
 
Awesome pics everyone.

I had such a fascination with icicles when I was younger, almost an obsession, I would walk around my neighborhood and break off as many as I could and stick them in the snow on our front lawn. I got yelled at allot for tresspassing.

All my older pics are on film and not scanned but I got some recent ones from a freezing rain event I dove down to central IL for back in December. My van was quite the icicle host.
