• 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.

The new Ebook "Life is Like a Weather Forecast" (Lessons Learned in the Storms of Life and in Storm Chasing ) should be available in a few months . Publishing details forthcoming . Some excerpts from the Introduction:

Hardly a day goes by that we don't hear of some weather-related phrase or cliche. We may need to "weather a new economic storm" or beware of some new global crisis that will hopefully "blow over." All this can make one feel a little "under the weather" with "clouds hanging over our heads." Perhaps it may even lead to a period " in the doldrums." It is in these times I think we all hope for "blue skies smiling at me…"

The literal weather affects us all, our scheduled lives and almost half of our nationaleconomy. We endure its heat waves, cold snaps, severe storms, and all the assorted picnics and parades that get rained on.

Speaking of the weather, one of my part-time pursuits for the last 15 years has been storm chasing. It has forced me to constantly restudy the complexities of storm prediction and forecasting. Though I suppose most people would rather go to places where plenty of sunshine comes their way, the storm chaser plans for and seeks out the times and places of greatest instability in the atmosphere. The ultimate goal in storm interceptiion is to witness phenomena most have never seen, some of the largest tornadic storms on planet earth. (From a safe distance most of the time ! )

Everyone is in some way "life forecasting" (health, finances, relationships, relocating, you name it.) This book will explore just what a good forecast is and how to recognize those unprecedented "perfect storms " that come along in most people's lives.
